Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
This committee is trying to find a solution to the housing shortage, which everyone is talking about. I am certainly hearing about it in my riding, Shefford. This is real for us too.
Mr. Baird, this is about finding solutions. Should social housing be prioritized over market housing alone?
Also, how can we prevent big cities from monopolizing the funds? In my riding, Shefford, smaller, more rural municipalities would like to make things happen and are asking questions. They're wondering if they're going to get their share.
Also, what should the expectations be? Do we focus on the number of housing units, lower rents or waiting lists? How might we measure concrete results?
