Could I ask that those results be tabled with the committee? Perhaps, since you may be transitioning, we can have that followed up.
That National Building Code proposal has been around for three or four years. You would think that the organization that's in charge of managing or at least looking at affordability would have a view on how much this cost would add per unit, which is ultimately borne by the developer up front, of course, and then eventually the purchaser. Some studies suggest that it's $30,000 to $50,000 a unit. It would be very helpful for the committee to have CMHC's view on that piece of information.
As well, there seems to be a bit of an execution issue. In my last 30 seconds, I'll leave you with an example. A regional government replied under the RHI, the rapid housing initiative, to increase the number of units by renovating existing units that they already owned, but they were adding doors. They were turned down, even though the doors cost only $150,000 a door. They were turned down because they didn't exactly fit the rigid scope of RHI.
I think we need to look better at our ability to execute and think outside the box. Other levels of government, by the way, count that in their funding programs. We missed out on an opportunity to very cheaply add new doors in some communities across our region.
Thank you.
