Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for being with us today, whether in person or virtually. I'm pleased to meet you.
Our committee is currently studying options for the construction of 100,000 new homes by 2024‑25. However, there's no indication of what percentage of the homes will be for people with disabilities, women or indigenous people. We're talking about $4 billion over five years for 100,000 new builds.
Let's face it, given how many requests we're getting for accessible rental housing—and I’m not blaming anyone for that—we're still a long way off. Actually, with respect to the national housing strategy, 1.8 million households still lack housing. I think you mentioned that, Ms. Whitzman. So, there's still a big gap.
On that note, I'd like to ask Ms. Kurdi a question.
You stated in your testimony that housing units needed to be 100% adaptable from the outset. In other words, they must be designed to adapt to certain eventualities that may arise.
You also said that we should avoid repeating past mistakes. What mistakes are you referring to?
