Mr. Speaker, my colleague asked a very good question.
The rapid housing initiative is a very good program; everyone applauds it. There have been three phases. The first phase was $1 billion, and the other two were $1.5 billion, unless I am mistaken. These are 100% subsidized social housing units. Everyone in Quebec loves this program.
Except now we have learned some things from talking to people from the Front d'action populaire en réaménagement urbain, or FRAPRU. Two weeks ago, at the summit on homelessness, we learned that there is apparently a fourth phase, but the criteria have been changed. They have added an affordability factor that is really scaring organizations in Quebec. In other words, it appears that the nature of the rapid housing initiative, which is a very good program, is going to change. No one knows how much money is still in the fund, but the criteria have already changed. This is very scary for people.
I have a message for my Conservative friends: The Government of Canada's rapid housing initiative is a very good program. They should renew it if they come to power.
