Thank you for your question.
For infrastructure, there are two pieces of news.
We were able to achieve a memorandum of understanding with the Government of Quebec to guide our collaboration on housing and infrastructure. We have a collaboration table with the two governments working together to fund affordable housing projects and making sure we're aligned with our priorities. There is good coordination among the government, the local governments and all the community partners. Infrastructure and housing run together, as you know. As a former mayor, I know you don't build the housing without the infrastructure. Recognizing that we needed to speed up on the infrastructure side, we announced the signing of the agreement for the Canada housing infrastructure fund—$1 billion that the federal government will invest in Quebec to modernize and build essential housing infrastructure to scale up the work on housing projects. That's the housing infrastructure fund.
The next generation is the build communities strong fund. We are in very good negotiations with Quebec right now and hoping to share good news very soon. That will lay the groundwork for more infrastructure funding connected to housing. At the same time, we're doing housing and infrastructure agreements and looking forward to the extension of these new agreements with the build communities strong fund and Build Canada Homes.
