Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I will be sharing half of my allocated time with MP Collins.
Ms. Bond, I found your presentation very interesting. On the fact that 19,000 units are currently being built in the city, the last time I checked there were about 80,000 people waiting for some type of community housing in Toronto, but when it comes to affordable housing in general, I think that number would be much larger.
I have a couple of questions.
Number one, when we use the term “affordable housing”, from a Toronto perspective—and I'm asking this because I represent a riding in Toronto—what are we talking about? In the accelerator fund is there an opportunity to look at alternative or non-traditional housing possibilities, including secondary suites, lane homes, garden homes, tiny homes and things like that? Are there opportunities there for the city to work with the federal government to look into that type of development of units as well?
