Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. At the beginning of his speech, he spoke a lot about the need for new housing. However, the housing announced in the budget will not be available for another two or three years, because housing cannot be built instantaneously. Still, there may be a way to help people find housing. For example, in some regions, Airbnb has taken over 20, 25 or 30 housing units so that it can profit off of renting them out by the day or the week. Would this not be a way to control these companies, to ensure that these units remain permanent rental units for residents?
