Again, that is a really good question. I hope I'm right on this. It seems as though the mandate that's been given to BCH—and this is why I doubled down on the affordability question—is to focus on deeply affordable housing. This is not something any of these other agencies will do consistently. Where we need to go is probably toward making sure that the mandate is anchored very carefully and that it is understood and considered to be long-term—not something that's going to shift and change.
We did not get to where we are in Canada in a weekend, did we? It is not going to take us a year or two to get out of it. We can get out of it. I can see the way. I'm an optimist; that's why I do what I do. We need to make sure we have a long-term view and focus on the affordability sector.
If we can help Canadians who are struggling to get into housing, stay in the housing they have and maintain a certain sense of balance, it will free up dollars for all the other social services that we think of as part of the brand image of Canada. Right now, we are spending a lot of money solving problems that really need to be solved upstream. That is why BCH actually has a chance.
