I'm wondering whether they would really have the details, when those details are still being worked out. I guess that's why I would suggest that their projection couldn't have taken into account all of the things that would be rolled into Build Canada Homes. Obviously, the GST rebate is one thing that we're doing, as well as cutting development charges. Obviously, municipalities as our partners are using federal lands, which lowers acquisition costs. We're encouraging buy Canadian, which should shorten supply chains slightly, and embracing innovation in terms of construction methods, modular prefab, etc.
I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but I'm listing these things because they seem pretty significant to me—approvals and permitting and speeding those up through the housing accelerator fund, which, as we've heard from many municipalities across the country, has been dramatically helpful. Interest rates, obviously, we don't control, but the Bank of Canada has also lowered some of the interest rates. We've also committed to helping fund the housing infrastructure that's needed.
With all of these things together, do you anticipate that housing starts will still continue to fall based on all of those measures in Build Canada Homes?
