Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I think the testimony here, today, has been quite enlightening. You referred to the national housing strategy goals as “pie in the sky”. I think “aspirational” was another word you used.
If we look at the Liberal government's housing plan.... It refers to it as “A Home. For Everyone.” It is a comprehensive plan that will “unlock home ownership”. It then lists a number of objectives of the plan, and it lists commitments. I'll point out two commitments, because I think they're relevant to the conversation we're having here today. One is “help renters become owners” and the other is “end chronic homelessness”.
Based on that, and on the communication coming out of the government, which talks about a plan and commitments, those are very definitive. It sounds as if there's a real misalignment with what you're saying here, today—that in fact, this housing strategy is “pie in the sky” aspirational ideas. It's not really something that's achievable.
