It's a really critical component. Housing is at the centre of Canada's economy, so I share the concerns of all members. When we have challenges on the market side right now in Vancouver and Toronto, we have to look at that and figure out how we turn that around.
We are investing first and foremost, though, in tackling the affordability crunch. That does take a lot of jobs and a lot of people contributing at all different levels, from the supply chain to the design and engineering of projects, the construction and, ultimately, the operations of the buildings. So, it's many jobs—a huge component.
If you add it all up, it's the largest industry in Canada. In these times, it's an industry that we have far more control over than our trade, particularly related to the United States. We are feeling some impacts from U.S. tariffs—obviously with softwood, steel and aluminum—and we need to be building our homebuilding industry stronger as a result of that.
