Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for your expertise and your specific recommendations and comments. I think that has added a lot of insight to the discussion.
Recognizing that the bells are going to ring, Mr. Chair, and that our time may be cut a little bit short, I want to say up front that I'm going to ask a question, but then I'm going to pass to my colleague Ms. Goodridge, so that she has a chance to ask a question before the time dwindles.
My question is for Mr. Gladstone and Ms. Whitzman, although I invite any others to chime in. We know there are labour shortages in Canada, particularly in the construction sector. We've heard that at this committee, and it's certainly exacerbated by supply chain disruptions.
Are you concerned about the ability of the housing accelerator to meet its goal of 100,000 by 2024-25, given the shortages in labour to construct units? If so, in making sure they reach this important goal, what strategies or considerations might you offer as recommendations to the federal government as they consider that?
