Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of witnesses here. We appreciate your taking the time to come and talk to us.
I'll start with Mr. Andison.
You made some pretty good points about the importance of not necessarily having the government build homes but having it lay the groundwork and make sure that the circumstances exist for the private industry to get building. That's not to discount the importance of public and social housing, Mr. Baird. I know that's a very important piece of the mix, but obviously the largest portion of the housing continuum is market housing.
Build Canada Homes is supposed to focus on non-market housing, yet the biggest barriers to getting market housing built, which is an important part of this mix, are in fact government, taxes, fees and bureaucracy. They're slowing things down.
I'm wondering if you can help me understand how many federal housing bureaucracies we need to solve the problem.
