I can take a run at that.

The way to level the playing field, and this is a process under way, is to restructure both the co-investment fund and the rental construction financing initiative, because the landscape has changed since those programs were introduced in 2018.

Abigail touched on it. The need in large urban centres for additional grant money in order to build truly affordable housing has shifted dramatically over the last four or five years, so a restructure of those programs is required. The housing accelerator fund can make up some of that difference.
