Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Bowers, a person who receives social assistance in Quebec gets $765 per month. That is obviously a very vulnerable person.
The minimum rent at this time for a person who obtained an affordable unit under CMHC's programs is $540. That means, in Quebec, that the people with the lowest incomes are unable to pay the lowest affordable rent under CMHC's programs. That really makes no sense. That is why social housing units cost 25 per cent of their income. However, even with that assistance program, it leaves very little money for a person earning $765 per month.
I have two very specific questions to ask you.
Earlier, you have some figures that do not correspond to the ones I have. Do you know how many actual social housing units have been built in Canada in the last year?
