Thank you.
Affordable housing is what they need. There is a place, of course, for additional market units, where people can move on and free up some existing stock, but we have a shortage of supply and a severe shortage of affordability. We don't need to build hundreds and hundreds of 6,000-square-foot homes that people cannot afford now. We need rents that are affordable. For the last five years, Victoria Park has paid not just minimum wage but a living wage for our lowest positions, yet we have had more of our staff apply and are now on waiting lists to try to get affordable housing.
This is for our workers. It's for the immigrants we need to bring in and for the roofers we need. We need affordable housing stock.
