No, sir, I would not say that. Actually, I would say that the main barrier to building affordable housing is the interrelationship between the different levels of government. I would say that there is too much empire building and not enough collaboration between these different levels of government.
As a local councillor with very little political experience, I humbly suggest that we've done a lot of great work in Cobourg by focusing on our lane and only on our lane and avoiding the work that belongs to the upper level of county.
When I see this level of government getting involved in housing, much needed, I ask myself, who thinks that adding government to industry is going to fix the problem?
