Madam Speaker, I want to thank the member for Vancouver Kingsway for the amount of his speech that he dedicated to addressing the housing crisis. It is clear that he and the NDP are serious when it comes to addressing the housing crisis. He talked about the need to double social housing across the country. He likely knows that one of the reasons the government has been unable to do so is that the CMHC has a definition of housing that is not actually being used in the various programs it operates. In fact, in today's fall economic statement, there are accelerated funds for a program of which only 3% delivers anything that helps those who are in core housing need.
I would appreciate understanding from him the extent to which he is similarly concerned with CMHC not using the right definition of housing and how addressing that could help address the need to get more affordable housing built.
