Yes. I'm sorry.
Regardless of the number of housing units needed to achieve this balance, we believe that the key decision‑makers at different levels of government should focus specifically on social and community housing. Like the for‑profit rental market, non‑speculative housing must also help achieve this ideal balance.
As we'll discuss in the next point, and based on the experience of certain societies over the past 100 years, we believe that social and community housing should account for at least 20% of the total rental market. In Quebec, this figure is currently around 10%. In fact, for the first time in years, we're seeing a downward trend, while the need for non‑speculative housing continues to grow.
Obviously, the targets set by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation won't be met by 2030. We must be realistic. It's a matter of both money and resources. We have a long way to go, but we're also optimistic. In 2017, we all applauded the federal government's firm commitment to start investing in housing again through the national housing strategy. It was a welcome announcement for community real estate developers. Meanwhile, Quebec settled for creating only about one thousand social and community housing units each year through the AccèsLogis Québec program. This program was hampered by an increase in standards and a decrease in provincial investment.
However, after seven years, despite the success of some initiatives of the strategy—which focused on the still vague concept of affordable housing—we must acknowledge that, without a national housing policy that ideally ties in with provincial initiatives, the issue of access to housing priced according to household income and needs remains unresolved. The situation has actually become much worse.
