Thank you so much, all three of you, for your very relevant testimony today. We could listen to you for hours longer. If there is an issue that encompasses social, human and political concerns, it is definitely housing. Not a day goes by, in all regions and municipalities of Quebec, without the housing crisis being mentioned.
I am wondering about the housing accelerator fund. It is not that I am not an optimist, and I like to see the glass half full, but it is clear that there is a tremendous gap between the supply and demand for housing, not to mention unemployment rates and the fact that some housing is not suitable for families.
Ms. Cyr, in your remarks you asked that the process be accelerated so that this $4 billion fund, which is supposed to be spread out over five years, instead be disbursed in two years, and that the funding be made available immediately. You believe that this would make it possible to accelerate project development rather than merely provide administrative support.
Could you elaborate on that please?
