9. Bottomline
 More work is required to address issues like affordability
 Impact of COVID has yet to work its way through the housing market
 All levels of government and private sector need to explore other options when it comes to building of
affordable housing.
 3-D building of housing needs to be embraced - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/technology-

 More emphasis on the skill trades - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-does-canada-fix-the-
skill-gaps
 More support of the lumber sector including tax reforms, regulations reduction, etc.
