I appreciate that, and I would like to talk to you more about it, because as much as it may feel like we're just attacking you here, this is a really very serious issue. It's probably one of the most important reasons for my deciding to run here, because as a mayor we were doing all kinds of things in my community to support the development of affordable housing and to support housing in general. What was missing in our community was a reliable federal partner, and that was the CMHC. It was impossible for different groups to get money out of the CMHC.
I appreciate that everyone cares, and I think that when the national housing strategy was launched, it was launched with great fanfare. Everybody cares, but if we're not delivering the results that Canadians deserve, then we need to regroup and talk about who's accountable. You talked about housing being a team sport, and I agree with you 1,000%. It's not just all levels of government and the private sector, but even within this government it feels like no one's the captain of the team. I think that's what Canadians are struggling with the most right now.
I definitely want to continue the conversation with you to see what we can all be doing to work better to deliver results for Canadians, because there have been a lot of promises made and there are more people homeless today than there were before we started this.
I appreciate your time here.
