Thank you very much.
Thank you, Minister, for being here today.
I've had almost two years as a new MP. Coming into this, we've heard testimony from our poverty reduction study. We heard from quite a few witnesses about the lack of affordable housing and rental housing. The challenge is not only for seniors but also for low-income persons and youth. What has become painfully clear to me is that this is not something that has happened over the last year or two. It has been the result of years of neglect, of nobody paying attention to housing for our seniors.
I would like you to expand on the $11 billion over the next 10 years for housing. How is that going to impact our seniors? What is the long-term picture? Where would that really put us over the next few years?
