Mr. Chair, I was the mayor of a municipality in my riding, and we were able to build 30 housing units for seniors aged 75 and over, with the collaboration of the Government of Quebec and the Government of Canada. It took us five years, which is a very long time. We even had a housing summit. The findings are clear: People are unable to find housing in our region because it is too expensive. Young people, workers and the less fortunate are unable to find housing.
I would like to know if the minister can tell us how important an agency like “build Canada homes” is for meeting the needs of the people of Les Pays-d'en-Haut and all Canadians.
