Clearly, that's not happening. I think there's still a great deal of uncertainty around housing policy. There's been a great deal of energy spent building up Build Canada Homes.
While I have generally positive support for the idea of Build Canada Homes, it needs to be backed up with better finance mechanisms, a much clearer idea of how much non-market perpetually affordable housing should be built, I would say, with free government land and in many cases deferral of development charges, for instance. The aim should be 100% affordable for low to median income, which is a majority of Canadians.
I think there's been a certain amount of focus on establishment and deals made, which is great. It's a big shift for a lot of developers. I think it needs to settle down, become a lot more certain and a lot more clearly linked to those very noble outcomes of more housing in order to work better.
