Thank you very much.
There are just a couple of points. I think I ended on the point about the Canada Lands corporation being moved into the housing portfolio. That was announced by the Prime Minister and the minister a couple of weeks ago. I think that's a really important initiative for some of the points that have been raised here in terms of having a lot more coherence among the federal actors. It means that I, Ms. Volk, the CIB and Canada Lands corporation are now all in the same portfolio, working under a single minister with a single mission.
The other point I was going to make was that there is a single mission now that brings together the focus on housing and affordability. It was mission four in the priorities letter from the Prime Minister to ministers. All of that brings a great deal of coherence.
With regard to speeding up the process, I think another important part of the announcement—that announcement was a really important day for us—was the Prime Minister effectively saying that he is going to be directing ministers to bring forward lands that have high housing potential. I think that's a really important signal and step that the government is taking, moving away from what comes up through a surplus process to looking at what key pieces of federal lands are available and can be built on.
The fact that Canada Lands will now have the resources in order to build on federal lands is a really significant step. This was part of the commitment that was made, that Canada would be getting back into building. It means we'll be able to accelerate the amount and the speed at which we bring homes to the market. That, then, creates a space for additional lands to come forward and get built on, because right now a lot of them.... It's been a lot slower. It's been dependent on market demand. This is a key removal of a constraint that I think will bring a lot more homes to market through this Build Canada Homes agency.
