Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mrs. Houle, I like to begin by saluting you. You're the first female housing advocate. That's certainly no small feat.
We keep rereading the annual report you produced and its complementary reports. I feel we're doing the right thing making people and the right to housing the heart of the matter. Housing is a right guaranteed by international conventions, but it's also a basic need guaranteed by the right to be safe. Thank you.
You make many recommendations. We've focused on them because I'm sure the federal government can play a role, particularly through the national housing strategy. In your annual report, you recommend that the government target its programs to prevent the financialization of rental housing and ensure that its programs don't contribute to the financialization of housing.
In your opinion, do any of the national housing strategy programs directly or indirectly promote the financialization of housing right now?
