No. I don't represent the condo builders. That's a separate group and market from our members. We represent people who build long-term income-producing property. We respond to market demand, where permitted to do so, across the country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868338\" data-originallang=\"en\">Did we expect immigration to go to a million people? No. It spiked. Did we expect 800,000 students to come into Canada? No. My colleague, Mr. Moffatt, will talk about the lack of student residences across this country as being part of the issue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868339\" data-originallang=\"en\">The job of the market is to respond to demand. We're trying to catch up with that demand as quickly as we can, but it's a slow process and right now it's difficult.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7868336\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, madame Zarrillo.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868337\" data-originallang=\"en\">Avons-nous pr\u00e9vu cette situation? Non. Je ne repr\u00e9sente pas les constructeurs de condominiums. Il s'agit d'un groupe et d'un march\u00e9 distincts de ceux de nos membres. Nous repr\u00e9sentons les personnes qui construisent des biens immobiliers g\u00e9n\u00e9rateurs de revenus \u00e0 long terme. Nous r\u00e9pondons \u00e0 la demande du march\u00e9, lorsque cela est autoris\u00e9, dans l'ensemble du pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868338\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous attendions-nous \u00e0 ce que l'immigration atteigne un million de personnes? Non. Elle a atteint un sommet. Nous attendions-nous \u00e0 ce que 800 000 \u00e9tudiants viennent au Canada? Non. Mon coll\u00e8gue, M. Moffatt, parlera du manque de r\u00e9sidences \u00e9tudiantes dans tout le pays comme d'une partie du probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868339\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le r\u00f4le du march\u00e9 est de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la demande. Nous essayons de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette demande aussi rapidement que possible, mais le processus est lent et ardu \u00e0 l'heure actuelle.</p>"
