Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all of the witnesses for attending today.
At the outset when I presented the motion to committee, my goal or objective was purpose-built rentals, that is, affordable rentals for families.
One thing I've learned over the years is that, as we have witnessed, both the private sector and the three levels of government try to assist with the affordable housing crisis that face. Many of the units, if not most, are bachelor and one-bedroom units.
What's left behind are those families who sit on affordable housing wait-lists across the country and who may have two or three children and require something more than a one-bedroom or bachelor unit.
My first question would be for Mr. Armstrong.
You talked about incentivizing the partnerships. How do we incentivize for larger units for families who might be struggling with affordable housing issues across the country in whatever province they live in and with whatever affordable housing wait-list they're on?
