Once again, I do thank you for your work. Yours is not the political. I will respect that and perhaps put my more pointed questions toward the government.
I think it's pretty clear and on the record that there is no evidence that this act will reduce the affordability of housing and groceries. Perhaps it's just because it cannot be determined, or it is not.
Perhaps it could also be as Mr. Ste-Marie said. Maybe we just haven't given it enough time. If the officials were given the appropriate amount of time or we could enlist private economists who could calculate such things, we would have the ability.
It is Conservatives' intention to oppose this short title. We have absolutely no evidence that it will restore affordability for housing and groceries to the way it was, I might say, eight years ago.
