Mr. Chair, I thank the honourable member for the question, which is a good one. Clearly she is outlining an issue that we are taking very seriously in the Canadian Armed Forces and at the Department of National Defence more generally. She has clearly outlined an important issue facing Canadian Armed Forces members not only in British Columbia but across the country, and I want to indicate that we are taking this issue seriously. We are working with stakeholders to align resources and acquire additional housing.
In 2022-23, for example, we are investing $55 million in residential housing for Canadian Armed Forces members. We are investing $445 million over the coming years to tackle this important issue. We've also put in place supports for our members when they relocate, because we know that is something that is particular to members of the Canadian Armed Forces. We are, for example, reimbursing them for legal and real estate fees and we're covering some expenses for dual residency for up to six months if a CAF member cannot sell their residence.
I thank the member for the question and I want to indicate that we are taking action on this. We do recognize that it is a problem. Thank you.
