Thank you, Madam Chair.
My question is for Mr. Butler.
In your opening remarks, you talked about how you would love to go back to seeing more ordinary Canadians making an ordinary income be able to afford a home. We used to see 27 as the average age when one would acquire a home, and now the average age is about 40. Clearly, there's a problem here that we need to address.
We have seen the government respond with a fourth housing bureaucracy, yet we continue to see reports that there are still even 100,000 construction workers who are at risk of facing layoffs, and we are still seeing Canadians struggle to enter the housing market.
What are your thoughts about this fourth housing bureaucracy as a solution to the problem?
