Thanks, Mr. Chair, for the question.
I think it's a shared priority of everyone across Canada now. Affordable housing has reached crisis levels. We certainly see that on our streets. The homelessness challenge is the tip of the iceberg when there are this many people who don't have a home. That reflects that we don't have anywhere near enough housing that's affordable for Canadians.
I feel I speak on behalf of my colleagues when I say that we're extremely passionate about getting affordable housing built and the infrastructure that enables that to happen. We are a community-building department, and we'll be throwing everything at it to make sure that we build faster, build more affordably and build across the country, particularly in communities with the greatest need.
We will be redoubling our efforts. We are heartened by the new structure of Build Canada Homes, taking a more innovative approach, and also by the interest we are seeing from governments of all levels, developers, non-profit housing providers and first nations. We are seeing a ton of interest now in coming forward with great new proposals to build affordable housing. It's going to be our job to implement that and make sure that the financing is moving and that homes get built as quickly as possible.
