Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank my colleagues for their understanding. I really appreciate it.
In recent years, many people have said that the rapid population growth caused by immigration and other factors combined with a housing supply that has not kept pace may have put upward pressure on housing prices, because the number of homes available in the short term is fairly fixed.
As of late, the government has been boasting a great deal about having brought about a decline in the population for the first time in Canadian history. At the same time, we are seeing a slight ease in the housing market. Do you think that one has had an impact on the other?
