The key word here is “accelerating.” Over the last 25 years, Canada Lands has built about 2,400 affordable homes. In the last eight years, they have built 1,200 homes. That's a lot more than in the previous 16 years. In the next five years, the Canada Lands Company will be able to build more than 5,000 affordable homes in partnership with others. It's a lot of ambition. The good news is that there are means to do it through your leadership and the leadership of other MPs in all political parties in this room and elsewhere.
Now we have, as the Prime Minister said today in question period, a housing crisis like we had post the Second World War. We had one when we had the boomer population trying to find homes in the 1960s. We have a crisis we can solve. We will be solving it with the partnership of many and the support of the Canada Lands Company.
