Mr. Glauser, a few months ago, a private member's bill was voted on in the House providing for the use of the surpluses of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, CMHC, the federal agency concerned with housing. Under that bill, CMHC would have retained $1 billion for eventual crises, if it had an actuarial role to play, but the rest of the surpluses would have been remitted to the provinces so that they could invest in social housing.
Unfortunately, that bill was defeated by the Conservatives and the Liberal Party. If such a bill were to be put before members again in a future Parliament, do you think they should support it or not?
