It is a supplement. However, as I said at the start, off-market housing, affordable housing and deferred affordable housing can mean different things. We know what social housing is; the definition is very clear, and it also meets a need. There's no doubt that building homes helps. We have some catching up to do in this area for all types of housing, but we still need to clarify what affordability actually means.
As I said, we welcome Build Canada Homes' investment projects. However, we need to see how they are implemented and what type of housing is being built. Is it aimed at families? Where are they being built? Is it exclusively on Crown land, or is it close to communities, as was the case in Longueuil?
It may be a good solution, but it's a major program. The devil is in the details. We need to see how it will be implemented and how it will be approached. We welcome a major investment in the fight against homelessness; it is very important. However, it's not just about building. Support is also crucial. Simply putting a roof over someone's head does not solve all their problems.
As someone said, when all you've known for some time is life on the streets, you might not feel at home in an apartment. All you want to do is go back to what you know. That's why it's important to have a multilayered support network for different situations.
