Thank you for the question.
Projects have already been carried out in Quebec, particularly in the Montreal and Quebec City areas, in which federal buildings have been repurposed—that is, transformed. This was done in partnership with the Quebec government and with cities and municipalities.
To be able to exploit them further and transform them, we need to put in place a solid, simple and accessible program. Of course, funding must also be attached to it in order to foster a collaborative approach in partnership with the various levels of government to meet the needs of the community. This must also be done while respecting the investments made over the last few decades to construct these buildings. It is a matter of giving them a second life and thus responding quickly and effectively to the need for social and affordable housing.
