Pro-Housing Tax Measures
Issue / question
How is the Government of Canada using tax measures to accelerate investment to build more housing?
Suggested response
- The Government of Canada is using a number of tax measures to support the construction of more housing in Canada by supporting rental projects, first-time homebuyers and homebuilders directly.
- The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been removed on new purpose-built rental projects, incentivizing the construction of more apartment buildings, student housing, and seniors’ residences. For a two-bedroom rental unit valued at $500,000, for example, the initiative is expected to deliver $25,000 in tax relief.
- The GST is also eliminated for first-time home buyers on new homes up to $1 million and reduced for first-time home buyers on new homes between $1 million and $1.5 million. This will lower upfront costs of by up to $50,000, and spur new home construction across the Canada.
Background
- The federal government is creating the financial incentives to build more homes, faster, by removing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from new purpose-built rental housing projects, such as apartment buildings, student housing, and seniors’ residences.
- Removing the GST from new purpose-built rental projects will enable builders to build more projects and create more units at more affordable rents across Canada. The Enhanced (100%) GST Rental Rebate applies to projects that begin construction on or after September 14, 2023, and on or before December 31, 2030, and complete construction by December 31, 2035.
- An accelerated capital cost allowance (CCA) for purpose-built rental projects that will increase builders' after-tax return on investment has also been announced.
- The CCA system determines the capital depreciation deductions that a business may claim each year for income tax purposes. Standard tax treatment for new rental apartment development is to allow 4% depreciation per year on a declining-balance basis. Budget 2024 announced a temporary accelerated CCA of 10% per year for new eligible purpose-built rental projects that begin construction on or after Budget day (i.e., April 16, 2024) and before January 1, 2031, and are available for use before January 1, 2036.
- Both rental housing tax measures will apply to new purpose-built rental housing (i) that is a residential complex with at least four units or 10 private rooms / suites, and (ii) in which at least 90% of residential units are held for long-term rental.
- To be considered a “first-time home buyer” for the purposes of the First-Time Home Buyers’ GST Rebate, an individual would need to meet various conditions, including being at least 18 years of age and being either a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.
- The First-Time Home Buyers’ GST Rebate would be phased out for new homes valued between $1 million and $1.5 million. For example, a home valued at $1.25 million (half way between $1 million and $1.5 million) would be eligible for 50% of the maximum rebate (a rebate of $25,000).
- No First-Time Home Buyers’ GST rebate would be available for new homes valued at or above $1.5 million.
Market Housing Supply Gap
Issue / question
What is the Government of Canada doing to address the market housing supply gap?
Suggested response
- This government is committed to using every tool at its disposal to double the rate of homebuilding nationwide.
- This includes, through the creation of Build Canada Homes, building affordable homes, supporting builders with financing, and encouraging better building methods.
- The federal government is taking action to increase the supply of housing by cutting the GST on the construction of rental housing and by building on the success of programs that incentivize communities to reduce barriers, cut red tape, invest in housing enabling infrastructure, and make homebuilding easier.
Background
- Canada is facing a housing supply gap, with the growth in demand for housing exceeding new construction. This scarcity has resulted in housing prices and rents growing far faster than Canadians’ income.
- One of the main drivers of the housing shortage has been the strong growth in housing demand driven by immigration-led population growth. Restrictive and time-consuming planning processes, increasing building costs, and low productivity in the construction sector have also impacted the pace of home construction.
- Various published estimates of the supply gap, based on different methodologies, indicate that millions of new homes need to be built over the next decade to meet the demand for housing.
- In June 2025, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation released a Housing Supply Gap report estimating that housing starts would need to increase from approximately 250,000 to 430,000 – 480,000 annually over the next decade to restore affordability to pre-pandemic levels.
- In August 2025, the Parliamentary Budget Office estimated that 690,000 additional housing units, on top of baseline completions, will be needed by 2035 to eliminate the housing gap in Canada.
- The federal government has also introduced a number of initiatives aimed at increasing the supply of market housing, including:
- Removing the Goods and Services Tax on the construction of new rental buildings to bring down the costs of homebuilding;
- Providing a $30 billion top-up to a flagship housing program – the Apartment Construction Loan Program – that provides low-interest loans to builders and developers to boost the construction of rental housing;
- Launching the $4.4 billion Housing Accelerator Fund – a program that incentivizes local government to remove barriers that slow the construction of housing; and,
- Launching a Housing Design Catalogue to help change how homes are built by simplifying the delivery of housing across the country.
- To better match immigration with the capacity to build new homes, the Government of Canada announced, in the fall of 2024, a reduction in permanent resident targets from 500,000 to 395,000 in 2025, with admissions falling to 365,000 in 2027. This decrease was coupled with cuts to temporary immigration to 5% of the total population by the end of 2026.
Affordable and Non-Market Housing
Issue / question
What is the Government of Canada doing to build more affordable housing?
Suggested response
- Helping Canadians access affordable and non-market housing is a key priority for this government.
- Building on the success of previous federal initiatives like the National Housing Strategy and Canada’s Housing Plan, this government will provide strong leadership to scale up affordable housing.
- Through Build Canada Homes, this government will support affordable, non-market housing using modern and sustainable methods of construction, predictable and scalable financing solutions, and collaborative partnerships with all levels of government, Indigenous communities, and both the not-for-profit and private sectors.
Background
- Non-market housing, or community housing, provides affordable homes with below-market rents that grow at a slower pace relative to the market (i.e., generally in line with operating costs, rather than market rental rates). Current supply of non-market housing is not enough to keep up with demand. Given the sector’s growth rate is less than half that of market housing, the share of non-market housing decreases each year.
- In 2021, 47% of renter households in Canada reported experiencing one or more of the following challenges: housing cost over 30% of their income, housing that was not suitable for the size of their household, or housing in need of repairs.
- Nearly half of non-market housing was built before 1980, with 87% built prior to 1996.
- The sector is highly fragmented, with about half of the total units managed by several thousand small providers, each of which typically owns fewer than 100 units. The largest 40 providers, typically provincial housing corporations and larger municipalities, own and manage the other half of the stock.
- Much of the current non-market housing stock relies on ongoing support from all levels of government, through legacy operating agreements and rent subsidies. Current investments have preserved existing non-market housing and helped grow its stock, but not to the scale needed to help restore housing affordability. The Government of Canada’s investments in non-market housing include:
- The Affordable Housing Fund, which is providing $15.9 billion over 11 years in long-term, low-cost repayable and forgivable loans to build new affordable housing and to repair and renew existing affordable and community housing;
- The Co-operative Housing Development Program, which is providing $1.5 billion over seven years in low-cost repayable and forgivable loans to build a new generation of non-profit co-op housing;
- The Federal Community Housing Initiative, a $618 million investment to help preserve 48,000 community housing units;
- The Canada Community Housing Initiative ($4.3 billion in federal funding with an additional $4.3 billion cost-matched by provinces and territories) to preserve and expand community housing; and
- The Canada Rental Protection Fund which is a $1.5 billion investment to help the community housing sector acquire rental apartment buildings and preserve affordability of rents over the long term.
Housing and Immigration
Issue / question
What is the Government of Canada doing to address the impact of high levels of immigration on housing?
Suggested response
- This government is committed to make housing more affordable, returning overall immigration rates to sustainable levels, and attracting the best talent in the world to help build our economy.
- By taking bold action to build more homes faster, the federal government is making it easier for Canadians and new immigrants to own or rent a home.
- This government will continue to calibrate immigration levels with housing supply and demand for other public services, and is committed to fostering a well-managed, responsive, and sustainable immigration system.
Background
- Canada has experienced unprecedented population growth in recent years, which has increased demand for housing. Statistics Canada indicates that immigration accounted for more than 97% of this growth in 2024. Further, according to estimates from the Parliamentary Budget Officer, in 2024, there were approximately 482,000 new households formed while only 276,000 housing units were completed.
- In April 2024, the Government of Canada released Solving the Housing Crisis: Canada’s Housing Plan which sets out an ambitious suite of measures. These measures, alongside subsequent announcements, will benefit newcomers and Canadians alike, and include:
- $1.1 billion over three years for the Interim Housing Assistance Program which helps provincial and municipal governments prevent homelessness for asylum claimants on a cost-sharing basis;
- $50 million over two years for Canada’s Foreign Credential Recognition Program, with a focus on residential construction to help skilled trades newcomers get more homes built;
- New funding for affordable housing programs, including the Affordable Housing Fund and a new $1.5 billion Canada Rental Protection Fund;
- The removal of the Goods and Services Tax on the construction of new rental buildings, including the construction of student residences built by public universities, public colleges, and public-school authorities; and
- Launching the Blueprints for the Renters’ Bill of Rights and Home Buyers’ Bill of Rights to help protect renters from unfair practices and help make the process of buying a home fairer, simpler, and more transparent.
- These actions complement immigration measures taken to reduce the volume of temporary and permanent residents:
- In March 2024, the Government of Canada announced a commitment to decrease the number of temporary residents from 6.5% of Canada’s total population down to 5% by 2026. To reach the reduction in temporary residents, a series of immigration measures have been introduced (e.g., introduction of international student caps).
- In the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, released on October 24, 2024, the Government of Canada announced a pause in Canada’s population growth for two years, before returning to growth of 0.8% in 2027. The Plan includes for the first time targets for both temporary residents and permanent residents’ admissions. It highlights the importance of ensuring a well-managed, responsive, and sustainable immigration system to help balance housing supply with housing demand.
- In its mandate letter priorities from May 21, 2025, the federal government committed to both make housing more affordable and returning overall immigration rates to sustainable levels – while attracting the best talent in the world to help build our economy.
Build Canada Homes
Issue / question
What is Build Canada Homes?
Suggested response
- The Government of Canada is stepping up with a bold approach to increase housing supply and has launched Build Canada Homes — a new federal agency that will build affordable housing at scale.
- With an initial capital investment of $13 billion, Build Canada Homes will bring together financing and partnerships to streamline development timelines, leverage public lands, and reduce barriers to build affordable homes for low- and middle-income Canadians.
- This new federal agency will harness public-private collaboration, deploy modern methods of construction, and catalyze the creation of an entirely new Canadian housing industry.
- Build Canada Homes has a mandate to move quickly and will prioritize development on six federal sites to build 4,000 factory-built homes – with additional capacity of up to 45,000 units across its current portfolio.
Background
- Build Canada Homes is a new federal agency that finances and builds large scale affordable housing developments.
- It works primarily with non-market housing providers to deliver affordable housing options that serve a large segment of the working population, as well as students and seniors living on fixed income that are priced out of the market. Build Canada Homes also acts as a developer, building on land, or working with other partners to develop underutilized public land.
- As it conducts these activities, Build Canada Homes will help transform Canada’s housing industry by generating demand for new and innovative methods of construction that reduce build time, cost per unit, or amount of resources (materials/workers) needed to get more homes built faster.
- Build Canada Homes will partner on and lead developments of affordable housing projects, and by using public lands, take land costs out of the equation. Build Canada Homes will leverage sites already listed on the Canada Public Land Bank and other federal sites from across departments.
- In its first six projects on federal land, Build Canada Homes will deploy a “direct-build” approach, overseeing and leading construction projects focused on affordable mixed-income communities. This first tranche of sites will be in Dartmouth, Longueuil, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Edmonton.
- To help protect existing affordable rental housing, the $1.5 billion Canada Rental Protection Fund will be launched under Build Canada Homes. This initiative will support the community housing sector in acquiring at-risk rental apartment buildings, ensuring they remain affordable over the long term. It also aligns with Build Canada Homes’ broader mandate to grow the supply of affordable and non-market housing – not only by building new homes, but also by preserving the ones on which Canadians already rely.
- Build Canada Homes will deploy $1 billion to build transitional and supportive housing for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. It will collaborate with key provincial, territorial, municipal, and Indigenous partners to pair these federal investments with employment and health care supports.
- Build Canada Homes will partner with the Nunavut Housing Corporation to build over 700 public, affordable, and supportive housing units. Approximately 30% of the units are expected to be built off-site, using innovative construction methods such as factory-built housing.
- What makes Build Canada Homes different is how it works:
- Unlocking multi-year pipelines of projects through the portfolio approach,
- Leveraging modern methods of construction such as factory-built housing, and
- Building on public lands to deliver more affordable homes faster.
- By combining flexible financing, access to land, and development expertise under one roof, Build Canada Homes will make it simpler and faster to get big projects off the ground. Introducing early federal financing will decrease project risk and incentivize private investment.
- Build Canada Homes will act as a one-stop-shop for proponents at every phase of the development process, working in close partnership with developers, investors, manufacturers, other orders of government and Indigenous partners to get housing financed and built.
Buy Canadian
Issue / question
What is the Government of Canada doing to ensure that its investments in housing and infrastructure are supporting Canadian businesses?
Suggested response
- This government is acting to protect, build, and transform our economy with a comprehensive suite of measures including a new Buy Canadian policy to prioritize domestic suppliers and Canadian materials.
- The policy will be comprehensive – not only direct purchasing but efforts extended to the activities of Crown corporations and the breadth of federal investments.
- Build Canada Homes and the Canada Infrastructure Bank will support this policy by maximizing the impact of every federal dollar, strengthening Canada's economic competitiveness, creating good jobs for Canadian workers, and delivering lasting prosperity for businesses across the country.
Background
- Global supply chain disruptions and shifting markets are redefining how countries grow their economies. In response, the Government of Canada is developing a comprehensive industrial strategy to strengthen domestic capabilities, build Canadian expertise, and help industries pivot to new markets and opportunities.
- Early actions included the One Canadian Economy Act and Interim Policy on Reciprocal procurement. Within the Housing, Infrastructure and Communities portfolio, action has included:
- Emphasizing the importance of maximizing economic benefits for Canadian industries in letters of Approval in Principle for infrastructure projects funded under direct delivery programs. Letters to successful applicants encourage funding recipients to consider prioritizing Canadian materials when undertaking infrastructure investments.
- Letters have been sent to portfolio organizations to emphasize the importance of applying Buy Canadian approaches.
- A September 5, 2025 announcement by the Prime Minister built on these measures with a suite of complementary initiatives to invest in workers (e.g., new reskilling package, digital job search platform, and alliances to bring together employers, unions, and industry groups) and support businesses (e.g., strategic response fund, liquidity relief, enhanced regional tariff response).
- The announcement also included a comprehensive Buy Canadian policy, for which Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada is collaborating with other federal departments on to develop an implementation approach. This includes the activities of its portfolio Crown corporations: Canada Infrastructure Bank, The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated, Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority and Canada Lands Company Limited.
Interest Rates and Housing
Issue / question
How do interest rates impact housing demand, supply and affordability in Canada?
Suggested response
- Interest rates exert a substantial influence on housing demand, primarily through their effect on mortgage costs. Higher rates increase borrowing costs and dampen buyer and investor interest, while lower rates generally stimulate demand.
- High rates can also increase rental demand and rents as potential first-time home buyers delay entering the ownership market. Interest rates impact housing supply by affecting residential investment, as the sector relies heavily on debt financing. As borrowing costs rise, construction activity tends to slow.
- Although reductions in interest rates can offer some relief, they do not fully address the broader affordability issues within the market. Structural challenges, such as zoning restrictions and delays in permitting, remain unaffected by changes in monetary policy and continue to constrain housing supply.
Key points
- On September 17, 2025, the Bank of Canada decreased the policy rate to 2.50%.
- Purpose-built rental starts increased from 82,921 starts in 2022 to 95,852 starts in 2024 despite increasing interest rates.
Background
- Empirical analysis by the Bank of Canada (BoC) found that residential investment (i.e., new construction, ownership transfer costs, and renovations) is more responsive to interest rate changes than other consumption categories. This is largely due to a reliance on borrowing to finance this investment.
- From 2020 to 2022 during the peak of the global pandemic, the BoC lowered its interest rate from 1.75% to 0.25% to support the economy. This period saw a historic boom in residential construction and peak material prices driven by high demand coupled with supply chain disruptions.
- Between 2022 and 2023, as markets stabilized, and the BoC raised interest rates consecutively — from 0.25% to 5%. The sharp rise in borrowing costs made it more difficult for prospective homebuyers to qualify for mortgages, increased financing costs for developers, and cooled investor interest in new housing projects.
- However, despite the interest rate hikes, investment increased in purpose-built rentals, which rose from 82,921 starts in 2022 to 95,852 starts in 2024. Programs such as the Apartment Construction Loan Program may have helped mitigate some of the impacts of rising interest rates for rental construction.
- On September 17, 2025, the BoC’s decision to decrease the policy rate noted housing activity was up at a healthy pace. Previous rate decisions (four consecutive holds) highlighted declining residential investment since the start of the trade dispute with the United States – despite rates remaining lower than what they were 18 months ago.
- In the near-term, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation suggests that economic uncertainty and trade tensions will continue to impact Canada’s housing market, but anticipates a gradual recovery by 2026.
- In the medium-to-longer term, lowering borrowing costs could accelerate new construction by boosting demand and lowering financing costs for new developments.
- Despite lower borrowing costs, affordability challenges will continue to limit buyers’ ability to own a home. The housing supply gap remains wide, despite narrowing because of reduced immigration targets for permanent and non-permanent residents in 2024. These lower targets are already starting to materialize as the latest estimates show that Canada’s population remained virtually unchanged during the second quarter of 2025.
- Interest rates are one of many factors that impact housing supply, demand and affordability. Additionally, the impacts of interest rate changes are broad, and ill-suited for targeting specific sectors, subsectors, or regions. Changes to monetary policy also will not alleviate pressures such as zoning restrictions, development charges, permitting and construction delays. Monetary policy can also not fully address the role of ongoing economic uncertainty in weakening both consumer and business confidence, which translates into fewer home sales and reduced residential investment.
Tariffs Dispute Impacts on Infrastructure
Issue / question
How have the United States tariffs impacted infrastructure projects, including non-residential and homebuilding?
Suggested response
- Tariffs and retaliatory measures risk destabilizing Canada’s housing market by weakening demand and constraining supply through higher costs and labour shortages.
- We are working with all partners, including housing and construction industry stakeholders and portfolio partners across provinces and territories, to monitor the impact of tariffs on these sectors.
- There are currently 345,000 active residential projects underway in Canada that will likely be negatively impacted by increased U.S. tariffs.
- Uncertainty, policy reversals, and trade tensions have created volatility in key industries such as construction, manufacturing, and energy. This instability, marked by fluctuating costs, disrupted supply chains, and declining business confidence may also lead to job losses within the construction industry.
Background
- On June 3, 2025, the United States (U.S.) administration signed an executive order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%.
- Previous to these new tariffs (March 4, 2025) the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on all Canadian imports and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy exports. In response, Canada imposed 25% retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion in U.S. goods, which remain in effect for non-Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) compliant exports.
- As of March 7, 2025, the U.S. agreed that CUSMA-compliant Canadian exports were temporarily exempt until April 2, 2025.
- On March 12, 2025, the U.S. implemented a 25% tariff on all imported steel and aluminum, including from Canada. Canada responded on March 14, 2025, with 25% tariffs on $29.8 billion in U.S. goods.
- On April 3, 2025, the U.S. imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian automobiles. Canada responded on April 9, 2025, with matching 25% tariffs on non-CUSMA-compliant U.S. vehicles and the non-Canadian/Mexican content in CUSMA-compliant vehicles.
- The imposed 50% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to the U.S. has caused significant concern across Canada’s industries, in particular homebuilders, the automotive sector and the construction sector.
- The Canadian steel industry has signaled that the U.S. market will be effectively closed to Canadian exports at the new, enhanced rate.
- Tariffs duties are typically required to be paid 7-10 days upon delivery – many Canadian firms have expressed that they will experience cash flow issues as a result.
- In some cases, Canadian firms – in particular in central Canada - have begun replacing U.S. supplied steel with Canadian, however, transportation costs remain elevated.
- Firms are also reporting declining sales orders for large purchases – as tariffs have been incorporated into input costs, raising final product prices.
- Effective September 1, 2025, Canada eliminated its 25% retaliatory tariffs on about C$44 billion in U.S. goods, including Phase 1 product since March 4, 2025 and consumer items tied to aluminum and steel countermeasures since March 13, 2025.
- This restores tariff-free access for roughly 85% of bilateral trade under CUSMA rules. Tariffs remain on autos, steel, and aluminum, with public consultations underway ahead of the 2026 CUSMA review.
- The Canadian residential construction sector is a net importer of homebuilding products which will experience raising homebuilding costs and disrupted supply chains. Homebuilders are already facing challenges sourcing U.S.-made products and replacement parts for equipment, windows, toilets, and doors – which may be exacerbated given the new tariffs.
- There are currently over 345,000 active residential projects underway across the country - with many multi-story projects requiring significant steel and aluminum components, mainly sourced from the U.S. such as aluminum studs.
- The June 4, 2025, Bank of Canada decision to hold rates – noted housing activity was down, driven by a sharp contraction in resales. Previous rate decisions highlighted declining residential investment since the start of the trade dispute with the U.S. – despite rates remaining lower to what they were 12 months ago.
- Tariffs will have a two-fold inflationary impact on Canada: Initial U.S. tariffs increase costs for Canadian raw materials processed in the U.S. and reimported, while Canadian retaliatory tariffs raise prices on all U.S. imports, regardless of supply chain origin. Developers and builders initially absorb these costs but ultimately pass them on to consumers. Aluminum and steel, which cross the border multiple times during manufacturing, amplifying the inflationary effects on Canada’s domestic economy.
- A decline in exports to the U.S. has weakened the Canadian dollar, driving up import prices alongside retaliatory tariffs. This increases costs for construction materials and equipment, straining fixed-price contracts and future projects. A weaker Canadian dollar may increase export competitiveness, which could help attract new markets as an alternative to U.S. demand.
- Tariffs will have the largest impacts on communities with heavy reliance on U.S. trade: Saint John and Calgary are most exposed due to their dependence on energy exports and limited access to alternative trade routes. Windsor, Toronto, Hamilton and parts of Quebec, are also vulnerable given their reliance on cross-border trade in steel, aluminum, and other materials.
- Tariffs will impact both current and upcoming infrastructure projects, including those under Public-Private Partnership (P3) models. Bidder interest is declining as cost estimates rise, and risk premiums increase due to pricing uncertainty. Fixed-price contracts are especially at risk, and ambiguities in contracts regarding tariffs and global events could trigger costly disputes and strain public-private relationships. Canada’s pipeline of over 81 P3 projects valued at more than $49 billion is exposed to inflation, borrowing costs, and trade-related supply disruptions, raising risks to achieving financial close and delivery timelines.
- The Department of Finance is leading Canada’s federal response to U.S. tariffs, overseeing the retaliatory measures on targeted U.S. goods. They are responsible for programs to support Canadian businesses affected by the U.S. tariffs and associated countermeasures, including:
- The remission process for certain countermeasure tariffs announced by Canada;
- Deferring GST/HST remittances and corporate tax payments from April 2 to June 30, 2025, with interest waived on required payments and existing balances during this period;
- The Large Enterprise Tariff Loan program, a new initiative offers financing to large Canadian businesses who face challenges accessing traditional sources of market financing to maintain operations and employment; and,
- Employment Insurance (EI) Work-Sharing Program, a temporary one-year program helps employers avoid layoffs by allowing employees to share available work and receive EI benefits.
- Global Affairs Canada announced a new hotline and additional resources from the Trade Commissioner Service to help Canadian exporters apply for the CUSMA compliance in order to access tariff-free treatment.
- Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada (HICC) also continues to work closely with federal partners, provinces and territories (PTs), and industry stakeholders as part of ongoing efforts to monitor and support coordinated responses.
- In February 2025, HICC convened multiple ministerial roundtables with the Canadian residential construction sector. A What We Heard Report summarized insights on key tariff-related barriers to project viability, and opportunities for support through the National Housing Strategy and Canada’s Housing Plan.
- HICC has established a departmental working group on the Impact of U.S. Tariffs and Retaliatory Measures on Canadian Infrastructure. The group is working to develop a coordinated departmental approach to policy development and to ensure that the Minister and senior officials remain informed of developments across federal departments, PTs, and industry partners.
- HICC launched the Impact and Implications of Tariffs and Counter-Tariffs on the Non-Residential Construction Sector survey. This has been shared with all PTs and will help gather more comprehensive regional perspectives on both challenges and potential opportunities.
