Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank our witnesses.
Mr. Hogue, to begin, I'd like to thank you for your analysis of the budget. In your testimony, if I understood correctly, you stated that the imbalance between supply and demand was one of the main causes of the housing crisis. We're quite familiar with the principle of supply and demand, which is part of the laws of the markets. Even if I don't know much about economics—I'm not even sure I know the basics—I understand it. Here, we're talking about housing that is on the market.
However, a lot of studies have been done on this, and when we talk about affordable housing and social housing, the supply of non‑market housing becomes important too. For example, projects focused on housing affordability and social housing must be carried out in conjunction with community groups and housing co‑operatives. Don't you think that this too could help solve the housing crisis?
