Thank you for this very important question.
When you look at affordability, we've seen, going back to what my colleagues and Canadians understand, that global events are translating now into affordability issues. Canada is not immune to that. It's the same thing. I just came back from the G7 meeting in Europe a week or so ago. We're now seeing a clear nexus between food security, energy security, economic security and national security. What you're seeing in the Middle East and with the tariff situation, it's all translating into an affordability issue.
The first pillar of affordability—and the chair would know this because she's done a lot of work on it—is having an affordable and secure home. People want to have an affordable home, so they don't have to pay more than they should in terms of their disposable income for housing or rent. That's the key pillar. That's why you've seen a focus on generational investment. It's to provide more affordable housing.
To your point as a health specialist, it's the whole spectrum to make sure we do that in the appropriate way
