Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, earlier you said we would ideally resolve the Indigenous housing shortage in the communities by 2030. That's in eight years, but we could just as easily say it's tomorrow.
We've often reiterated the fact that, in Quebec alone, we would have to spend $3.9 billion to build 10,000 units. For Canada as a whole, we're talking about nearly $40 billion for 120,000 units. I would point out that this only represents the shortfall.
In Quebec, 225 units of this type are currently being built every year. If we did a calculation to give us an idea, we would have to build 1,250 units. We would have to multiply funding by a factor of five just to cover the shortfall, and I'm not even talking about inflation, additional costs, delays or additional units that we will need.
I'm speaking generally, but I know the issue is more complex than that. In light of this information, and even considering more details and subtleties, can we admit that we won't be able to meet the 2030 target despite the amounts that have been invested? We simply can't do it.
