I have a question for Mr. Deltell. I don't understand why the city is going to pay $1 million to this fellow who stole money from them.

Mar 25, 2026

I understand now. It's not the city that decided to make this payment. It's the government that's requesting it. Thank you.

Mar 25, 2026

That doesn't explain why the city is going to pay him money.

Mar 25, 2026

Did Mr. Deltell move his motion?

Mar 24, 2026

Is the current government, the provisional government, taking steps to transition things like property rights that existed under the previous government? Are property rights, contracts, debts and so forth transitioning into the new society as well?

Mar 24, 2026

—or they're not going to get any investment anywhere. Is that stability coming?

Mar 24, 2026

Thank you very much.

Mar 24, 2026

How do the stakeholders, such as provinces, municipalities and community organizations, respond to this definition, if you will, of affordability?

Mar 24, 2026

Thank you, Chair. This has been touched on by many people, both our witnesses and members. I'm interested in the state of law in Syria. I hear about the collapse of the Assad government. Collapse of a government means, typically, loss of the law and the whole legal structure that pertains to that government. I'm assuming that the current provisional government was created on the basis of it [more]

Mar 24, 2026

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'd like to carry on with affordability, which Mr. Deltell started. What do we mean by “affordability” when we're talking about homes?

Mar 24, 2026

Can you clarify what we mean by “non-market housing” versus “market housing”?

Mar 24, 2026

Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to switch, at this point, to homelessness. I understand that Reaching Home is being renewed. I'd like you to speak a bit about the successes of the program in the past and how we are going to build on those to continue supporting Canadians experiencing homelessness.
