Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the two witnesses once again for joining us for this important study.
Ms. Whitzman, you raised an important point about the need to respect regional differences and realities. The situation in Quebec is unique because, when it comes to housing, we have the Société d'habitation du Québec, or SHQ. The Bloc Québécois supports Build Canada Homes because the SHQ will have the final say—it is the organization that best understands the realities on the ground. This will therefore be done in collaboration with Quebec.
You also mentioned the Mission Unitaînés. This type of housing is being built in my riding, Shefford. It's true that it's a different model.
There is also collaboration with community organizations. In my riding, the organization Holocie plays a key role in promoting social and community housing. I'm talking about social and community housing because, in Quebec, the issue of affordability arises. You mentioned it, and many witnesses before you have done so. It's extremely difficult to talk about affordability when there's no clear definition of what it should be. That term can mean anything.
Would it be important to return to a definition that uses the term “social and community housing” rather than “affordable housing”?
This would be in accordance with the principle that Canadians and Quebeckers should not spend more than 30% of their income on housing. This is a major consideration.
