From the Paper:

"Housing is one of humanities basic needs. However, in Canada suitable housing is not always available. In The Canadian Housing System, James McKellar et al state, 'Although, overall, Canadians are well housed, a minority of households are unable to obtain market housing that is suitable, adequate, and affordable without paying more than 30 percent of their income'. The fact that not everyone has access to suitable housing at affordable prices is very problematic. This is why governments, policy makers and social activists have made housing into a major issue."
