What does that look like? For what you're suggesting, it would cost billions of dollars in Canada to pull that off. I'm not saying that's bad, but I'm going to ask you two questions. Where is the money going to come from? How many people would that affect?

How many people do we need to provide housing for? Understanding that this is a Canadian committee, this means 35 million people. This is a pan-Canadian study. What is that going to look like as a Canadian all-inclusive? What is that going to cost? For how many people is it going to be required to provide housing?
