Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Minister, Madam Minister, thank you for being with us.

Mr. Fraser, in the 2023 Fall Economic Statement, there's an additional $1 billion over three years which is earmarked for the affordable housing fund starting in 2025‑26. There's also a new $15 billion earmarked for loan financing starting in 2025‑26.

You know very well, Minister, that there will be a federal election between now and the end of 2025. Therefore, if the government is concerned about affordable and social housing and makes it a priority, how can you guarantee that it will get there?
