Thank you very much, Chair.
Welcome, Minister. I think—you know me now—you probably know what I'm going to talk about.
We've talked a lot about one end of the spectrum, with urban housing. My colleague across the way talked very quickly about rural housing. The theme of my questions today would be access and infrastructure.
It was really neat to hear you say that, beginning today, we cannot build homes without infrastructure and accessibility. Build Canada Homes is a significant new tool—I'll give you that—to help accelerate housing here, but how will smaller and rural communities, like the ones in South Shore—St. Margarets, where I'm from, be supported to access programs?
I've talked to a lot of developers and non-profits in my riding. They're saying that it's really hard to gain access. I'm wondering if you could talk to us today about it and whether there's any rural-centric policy development with this big, shiny, new Build Canada Homes so that my developers and the people in my riding, the little guys, can get a fighting chance when they don't have 100 or 1,000-plus units.
