Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll continue in the same vein. When we talk about supply and demand, we have to understand that this is based on the law of the market. However, the housing crisis is to some extent affecting students and, as we've seen recently, our military. These are low-income, modest-income people.
Is it the right approach to simply rely on supply and demand to guarantee that this supply of housing will grow faster than rental housing?
I'm not demonizing the private sector, but, in my constituency, there's no problem as far as rental housing is concerned. Where there are problems is with social and affordable housing.
Also, unfortunately, the conditions imposed on provinces or municipalities often mean that many projects are delayed. We saw this recently in connection with the Fonds d'acquisition québécois. Quebec decided to invest the same amount, but it took many months for the agreement to be concluded. In the meantime, no new housing is being built. Consequently, I think we need to redirect our way of seeing things and our priorities.
Do you agree with this?
