Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Ms. Summers, earlier you said that the federal government should also keep those funds realized from the expiration of operating agreements earmarked to social housing. This, you said, would mean providing nearly $11 billion in funding for housing without requiring the federal government to increase its spending. Where did you come up with this figure of $11 billion?
