Thanks for that.
Mr. Smith, I was on your website, and I looked at the “Why we can't build family-sized apartment units in North America”. Again, I'll revert back to my municipal days. Just before I arrived here in Ottawa, I worked on a public-private partnership with our municipal non-profit. In that partnership, we transferred lands where we previously had just over 100 townhouse residential units, and we looked to consolidate those units in a higher density.
You talked about infill. Of course, as municipalities and others look for sustainable developments, they look at higher densities. One of the challenges we had with higher densities and with moving families into an apartment building was the cost of constructing family-sized apartment units.
Can you provide some recommendations in terms of what the federal government can do to assist in bridging the gap with the whole issue of cost related to family-sized apartments?
