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—

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 ris

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.

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 acces

Human Resources committee  Thank you very much for the question.

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.

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 t

Human Resources committee  That's correct. With regard to Reaching Home, we did have a homelessness policy before that, which was Housing First, but that really prioritized housing first, above and beyond the integrated wraparound services. When we look at international best practices and at working w

Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. It's extremely important to do what needs to be done to help the homeless. Regarding the actions taken by the government, it's important to note that the housing accelerator fund was doubled. It went from $4 billion to $6 billion. Furthermore, the go

Human Resources committee  We'll table a plan once we have approval for the various stages, which will be made public. We're also preparing reports, for example, on the veteran homelessness program. We'll also make public our followup to the various requests and community consultations.
