Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Berube, I'll start with you.
I want to pick up on one of the last comments you made in terms of the use of modular and getting your company and others to a point where you're at full capacity. One of the challenges I've found is that there are a lot of people within the industry, and even those at all three levels of government, who really aren't familiar with the benefits of modular housing.
I look back to 2019. I was a city councillor. I had to bring a motion to my council to look at the benefits of modular and to investigate a municipal non-profit build for modular. I didn't know the pandemic was coming, and I didn't know that the federal government, before I arrived, was going to create the rapid housing initiative, which forced municipalities to build in a very short time frame. Therefore, my motion jibed very well with that program, and our council said that it was going to build a modular build to take advantage of the rapid housing initiative. If I look back at the course of what happened over a two-year period in my municipality, had it not been for the rapid housing program or the motion, it probably wouldn't even be looking at modular. Now, I think it's into its sixth or seventh project.
What can the federal government do in terms of encouraging or incentivizing—the rapid housing initiative is a great example, I think—our municipal and provincial partners as well as the private sector to investigate or to look at, at least, and consider modular as an option when they're considering a residential housing build?
