Transport committee For the green and inclusive community buildings program, again, there was a top-up. Both of these programs were significantly oversubscribed, and that's why there was a $500-million top-up. That application can be looked at again through the additional funds provided in budget 2024.

Transport committee There are a number of fast-growing areas in Canada, according to StatsCan. I don't have the exact community that is the fastest growing, but I have a—

Transport committee I do not. That would be through the board of directors of CMHC.

Transport committee Any particular project that went through ICIP would certainly be subject to the climate lens. Since then, we actually brought the climate lens directly into program eligibility. It's not a separate lens; it's actually part of eligibility of any particular program.

Transport committee Well, all of the programs, such as DMAF, as you are aware, are all—
March 21st, 2024Committee meeting
Kelly Gillis
Transport committee Thank you, Minister. We have been trying to augment and support the expertise within municipalities and with proponents by having programs through the FCM or through ourselves. This would give them tools, training and expertise to understand the assets they have, the climate risks they're facing, and how to be better custodians of those particular assets by supporting and working with the NRC on codes and standards and bringing those into place.

Human Resources committee The infrastructure dollars do not fund housing. The infrastructure dollars fund transit.

Human Resources committee It would certainly be taken into consideration in part of the negotiations.

Kelly Gillis
Human Resources committee With regard to Infrastructure Canada's future programming, the government has made a commitment to linking the conditionality of our programming to accelerating and increasing supply as well as to affordable housing. We will be looking at having that as our prerequisite for access to infrastructure programming.

Kelly Gillis
Human Resources committee Thank you very much for the question. When we're planning infrastructure investments at the community level by looking at housing needs assessment at a granular level, understanding the community demographics, the growth trajectory, where people live and the income levels as we plan out communities is important.

Human Resources committee Working with your community entities and your non-profits.... Certainly we're very active in working with the provinces in the community entities that we fund. I think there is a sense of urgency and of wanting to work very collaboratively to find solutions for the communities across the country that are dealing with this really important issue.

Human Resources committee I can get you that information. I didn't bring with me the breakdowns between each of the subway lines.
October 30th, 2023Committee meeting
Kelly Gillis
Human Resources committee In this particular programming, no. This came out in 2019, actually, and goes through 2021, and right now we're looking at the same kind of needs assessment and at understanding the affordability and what's going on and having active conversations with the province and the city to try—

Kelly Gillis
Human Resources committee In the discussions right now, I think Ontario does have minimum targets across the province. Then we're looking at the stations themselves—the demographics, the needs, the growth. It's very much a data-driven, evidence-based approach and not a hypothetical example.
October 30th, 2023Committee meeting
Kelly Gillis
Human Resources committee That's a great question. That's actually part of the housing accelerator fund, where we look at zoning requirements and at allowing “four and four”. There's an agreement with Toronto. Looking at opportunities that this particular agreement provides to change the dynamics within these discussions and future discussions, I think, is super-important.
