Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to all of the witnesses.

I'd like to start with Mr. Irwin.

I'd like for you to expand a little bit on the situation. Our existing rental stock is aging. It needs to be updated. We also need more of it.

We've talked about what causes delays with municipal approvals and all of these issues. Can you give me some specific examples of what the federal government can be doing to help speed up the process of getting new purpose-built rentals constructed?
