You're absolutely right. Trying to get to what the size of the gap is and what the investments need to be in order to reduce that gap by 2030 is a key focus and priority for me and for Deputy Fox. We work closely with the IFSD, which does a lot of that modelling work that you're talking about in terms of assessing the size of the gap, not just in housing but in other infrastructure and socio-economic needs.

We know it's significant. The AFN has estimated it at $60 billion. I'll turn to Deputy Fox to give some reflections on the work of the department.
