It goes on and on.
I find it interesting because if we take a human rights approach and look at what you're saying, I've heard before about people wanting to engage in the affordable housing business, if you want to call it that, and not really being able to, and that there aren't government programs. I do think it's an area in which there's a lack of facility. The government doesn't make it easier for someone like your Italian friend to do. I do think we need to look at that.
A human rights framework gets us there because it asks, “Are we doing what we need to be doing to ensure that those with the least amount of money can afford housing?” We know home ownership is not going to be a viable option for every person in Canada or every household in Canada. It's just not. People don't have the ability to make the original down payment, etc. Rental accommodation is something that might work for a huge percentage of our population, but no one is building rental accommodation. Why? It's very cumbersome. There are no incentives at the moment to build rental accommodation, because it's cumbersome and problematic.
A human rights approach gets us to ask the very questions that you want asked. What's causing poverty in Canada? What are the major triggers? The hydro bill issue is another one. This goes right to the adequacy of housing. Under international human rights law, you have to be able to have basic services and afford basic services, like hydro. The human rights question asks, “What are we going to do about the fact that a lot of poor people cannot afford to pay their hydro bills?” From there come the solutions.
