Thank you, Ms. Fox.
As Lieutenant General Simoneau mentioned, current needs vary because our waiting list fluctuates constantly in the spring and summer. We typically receive a large number of requests during this time, as it is when Canadian Armed Forces members are being transferred across the country. Starting in the fall, the list stabilizes.
The latest data indicates that nearly 1,300 people are set to be transferred and are still on the national waiting list. There are even more who have housing in the local market and would like access to military housing. This is what we call priority level 3. As for priority levels 1 and 2, they are assigned to members who apply after being transferred and who must relocate elsewhere in the country. This is our top priority.
Currently, as previously mentioned, we are working very hard to expand the Canadian Forces Housing Agency’s portfolio, and we publish our plans annually. We publish an annual report that details our finances and the distribution of our funds, as well as our projects—that is, what we’ve accomplished over the past year and what’s coming up.
The last fiscal year has just ended, and we’re currently preparing our report. I encourage you to take a look at it, as it contains all the information on renovation projects, acquisitions, and the portfolio, as well as how we spend the funds. Most of the funds—84%—are reinvested in the housing portfolio.
