I think that one of the things.... We haven't done too much of an assessment of the particular measure you're talking about, but what I do think that we would be really well placed to focus on is how we leverage the opportunity we have through the public post-secondary system to look at where the challenges are to building more homes in this country. How can we leverage the policy capacity, the research capacity and the partnerships we have with industry and with communities to really build and to develop the multistakeholder approach to building more homes?
This is where our particular interest around a challenge fund would come in. It's really marshalling new resources to give a challenge to our post-secondaries and ask what they could come up with in terms of new ideas to support and develop new technologies, new processes, etc., to build the kind of housing supply that we need. Where are some of the policy barriers, etc.?
This is why we're so interested in the notion of more investment in mission-driven research. The housing crisis in Canada needs a mission-driven approach that we feel we could be marshalling more of our research capacity to address.
