When we look at countries that have achieved certain outcomes, like Finland or France, they are countries that have set goals so that whomever gets elected—and keep in mind there are always multiple levels of government with multiple political perspectives—those goals don't change.
Finland said it was going to eradicate homelessness, and it has come pretty darn close. It has certainly reduced homelessness successfully through funding deeply affordable housing with supports, and that's been true financially since 1987 and in their approach since 2008.
In 2000, France set targets for all municipalities to achieve 20% non-market housing. That was only increased in 2016 to 25%, and Paris has now taken on a voluntary goal of reaching 30% non-market housing. Again, France has had quite a bit of political change, but those goals have remained consistent. It's really important to be serious about the long-term nature of finance and the long-term nature of housing policy, and develop a certain consensus around what the approach is going to be. As Mr. Sullivan said earlier, this isn't a four- or five-year program; this is setting up a Crown agency. It's serious.
