Mr. Speaker, I would have to admit I do not know what will happen in three years time. What we are doing is trying to deal with a crisis situation where we have hundreds of families who are underhoused or living in homes with other families. We are trying to ensure new homes are built for those that can afford to pay their own bills, freeing up the social housing units that are severely needed. Whether or not we will be able to afford to build new houses down the road will depend on whether or not the federal government will be funding us for those. They have made it really clear they are getting out of the social housing business.
