I think it's one of the measures that have been put out there to incentivize municipalities to adopt more efficient, quicker and less expensive ways to approve projects. I think what has been said so far has made it very clear that the length of time and the expenses involved in putting forth new housing projects in many parts of Canada, particularly in Ontario, is a big part of the problem. Therefore, any measures like the affordable housing fund that incentivize municipalities to expedite their processes and make them less cumbersome are definitely steps in the right direction.
