Mr. Chair, the national housing strategy is very significant because it reflects a return of the federal government to investing in social housing after an absence of many decades.
In answer to the question from Madame Chabot, the best way to address housing for those most in need is investing in programs like the rapid housing initiative—housing programs that are rich in grants that target vulnerable populations. For example, the rapid housing initiative has resulted in the funding of over 10,000 new housing units. Many of them are perfectly suitable for those experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness.
Those are the kinds of programs that will best address those most in need.
