Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Gray, a curious thing happened on Monday. I was in the House for debate on the Conservative leader's housing bill, and my colleague, Jenny Kwan, who is our housing critic, asked him a question about the importance of building more social housing. Of course, we know that Canada is in a housing crisis, and we need housing at various ends of the spectrum. She cited a number from a Scotiabank study, actually, which is that Canada's social housing stock is about 3.5% of Canada's housing stock right now. Scotiabank has said that we need to at least double it in order to be within the OECD average.
In response to my colleague's question, which was why the Conservative leader never talks about building social housing, he said, “We do not need a Soviet-style takeover of housing.” Do you agree with the Conservative leader that Scotiabank is recommending a Soviet-style takeover of housing in Canada?
