Thank you, Madam Chair.
My question is for Ms. Bowers from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, or CMHC.
Ms. Bowers, could you talk to us about the national housing strategy, which was announced in 2017. It's an ambitious federal government program, a nearly $40 billion plan to address housing needs, including social housing.
I saw that CMHC was managing various programs, including the rapid housing initiative. We are talking about a $1 billion program. Last fall, the program was aimed at projects in certain regions of Quebec. The federal government and the Government of Quebec reached an agreement, and the federal government granted $116 million to Quebec.
However, we don't know if, out of the $500 million to support projects from the provinces, there will be funds for other projects in Quebec. We've had no news about that.
Can you tell us more about this?
