Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I certainly have some questions for the witnesses, but before I do, I just want to recognize, Mr. Chair, that we experienced an atmospheric river in B.C. this past weekend. In my community of Coquitlam, a dearly beloved elementary school teacher died. Her home was swept away in the atmospheric river. Her name was Sonya McIntyre. I just want to recognize that today as we talk about housing and the need for safe, affordable, resilient housing.
I want to share with the panellists that, as a parliamentary committee and parliamentarians, we don't do operations. We do legislation and regulations.
I'm really interested in how the federal government can keep current and assist in getting affordable, accessible, climate-resilient housing built. I'm thinking right now specifically about remote and rural indigenous communities. We have an NDP member from Nunavut who talks a lot about the inability to get housing built quickly. I'm really interested in your knowledge, your skills and your experience around how we can access these remote communities and quickly get them housing that's going to be climate-resilient.
I'm going to ask everyone. Maybe I'll start with Mr. Pascoe, and then I'll go to Mr. Facette and then Mr. Silveira. You go to way more conferences than we do. You talk to way more people. I'm interested in what we need to know as legislators.
