Thank you, Madam Chair.
Again, thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
Since we don't have a lot of time, I'm going to ask an open-ended question. Much has been said about the fact that there is a housing affordability crisis. Many measures have been put in place to enable first-time buyers to buy a home.
Ms. Keesmaat, you talked about housing units that could one day be acquired at below-market cost. In the greater Montreal area, for example, there is a homelessness crisis. It's obvious that there are a lot of people who, despite all these measures, will remain on the street and have trouble finding housing. This is a major crisis. I understand that your organizations are private organizations focused on construction, design, urban planning and so on. I would still like to ask you about the importance of social housing, that is, housing held by municipalities to help people in need find housing at a price that may be even lower than market value or than what you offer.
The question is for whoever wants to answer it.
