Thank you, Madam Chair.
Today, Quebec's housing problems are glaring, particularly because the federal government makes agreements, but also because the money is never disbursed. When it is, it takes several years.
You will recall that, in 2017, there was a large fund. Ontario got its money right away, but Quebec had to wait until 2019 to sign an agreement. Obviously, the explosion in costs related to COVID meant that much more was built in Ontario than in Quebec. The Canada housing infrastructure fund agreement was signed in January 2026, two years after the agreement was signed. Under the green and inclusive community buildings program, according to the 2025 public accounts, Quebec received only $5 million out of the $109 million in program dollars. According to Radio-Canada, as of January 1, 2026, Quebec had received nothing from the active transportation fund, while Ontario had received $2 billion, more than half of the amounts committed.
So, when we talk about the amounts to be invested, why does it seem as though the programs are designed so that Ontario can quickly get the money, but it's always complicated for Quebec? Is this a form of discrimination against Quebec?
