Question
A student is looking for government expenditures at the municipal (Montreal) and provincial (Quebec) level for public housing, from 1990 to 2013. Short of adding up the data from annual budgets (which is not easy to do if you are not an accountant) is there any compilation of such public expenditures? I could not find any so far. I have contacted Office municipal d'habitation de Montréal and FRAPRU (a community organization). Is there anywhere else I could try?
Answer
Under the new bilateral agreements for the IAH, provinces and territories will report publicly on outcomes of the investment using agreed-upon indicators:
- Société d'habitation du Québec <http://www.habitation.gouv.qc.ca/english.html>
- Quebec Agreement for Investment in Affordable Housing 2011 - 2014<http://www.schl.ca/en/inpr/afhoce/fias/upload/CMHC-Quebec-Agreement-for-Investment-in-Affordable-Housing-2011-2014.pdf>
- Public Reporting on Outcomes of the IAH: 2011/2012<http://www.habitation.gouv.qc.ca/fileadmin/internet/publications/0000022141.pdf
