Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister and officials for being here.
Speaking of slowness, I have many issues. First off, and to set the record straight, the federal Liberal government cancelled the national affordable housing program in 1993. That was succeeded by the Conservatives gutting the dollars for housing. As a result, we lost housing altogether from the federal government. Consequently, we have a housing crisis, and it's been escalating. That's just to be clear.
I want to get very specific about the programs in the national housing initiative. There is the codevelopment fund. We already talked about what a disaster it is in terms of its rollout.
I want to raise this question with the Minister: If you look at the numbers, the distribution of about 100,000 units have gone out across the country. However, there are about 115,000 units that have received funding commitments, but the money has not yet rolled out. Why?
