While you look that up, I'll fill in a bit of air here and say I think we can all agree that the problem over the last nine years has been that the amount of demand for housing and new household formation has dramatically outstripped the number of houses.
Then we can talk a bit about what that has translated into. As my colleague said, we've seen that the average home, as percentage of median household income, has gone from 39%, in other words, four-tenths of a paycheque of an average Canadian, to now six-tenths. That's a rise of almost 50%.
As worrying as that definitely is, I am perhaps most troubled—and I've certainly seen this in my community. We've actually seen the rent increases go from an average in 2015 of about $20, to an unbelievable average increase of $100 in 2023.
Mr. Hogue, are you as concerned as I hope all Canadians are at this dramatic increase in the rise in rent for Canadians?
