The fact of the matter is that we have—from the very beginning, prior to COVID and during COVID—invested heavily in affordable housing in Reaching Home, and now with the new rapid housing initiative. Throughout all of those elements, the Province of Manitoba and the City of Winnipeg have been recipients of those federal dollars. In fact, Mayor Bowman was very much appreciative of Winnipeg's share of the rapid housing initiative.
