It's really important to look at the broader impacts economically across the entire sector. It's true that housing starts drive significant efforts in construction, economic returns and taxation, but it's also true that having housing stability for the vast majority of Canadians drives significant improvements economically for the entire nation.
There's good research being done right now that's going to show how continuing to invest in affordable housing for all Canadians will result in lower costs in health care and in our justice system. There are knock-on effects that affect the economy much more broadly. Labour mobility is an example as well. These are all areas that, traditionally, have been somewhat ignored when you look at government-based investments in non-market housing, but they're very real and they're very measurable.
It's true that both matter. We can make investments in non-market housing and market housing. We can generate economic activity through that construction work. We can also provide for more housing stability that leads to better economic outcomes for all Canadians.
