More than 60% of the senior population live in single-family dwellings, and the majority of those are in suburban neighbourhoods that have those characteristics that I mentioned that are very difficult to deal with if you can no longer drive. It has been established that we're a suburban nation, so many of these suburbs are in our metropolitan areas. We have created an urban structure that is very difficult to deal with, so we need a strategy whereby, on the one hand, we stop making the same mistakes we have made in recent decades, and on the other, have a proactive initiative—the kind of thing the CMHC does at the dwelling basis—and do it on a neighbourhood basis to adapt and refit our neighbourhoods. This is something you can make some progress on over time.
