I would like to say a couple of things to begin with. The first is that my name is pronounced “whitesman”, and that I was a full professor before I retired in 2019, but that's neither here nor there. Also, I was on the federal industrial committee on homebuilding, so ask me about modular.
In any case, I think that the measures outlined in Bill C-4 are probably not the most effective measures either to get homebuilding happening again, Mr. MacDonald, or to ensure the affordability for all Canadians.
I think that Build Canada Homes has some promising directions. I would agree with Madam Lavoie, who spoke in the last session, about using Keynesian-type economic stimulus to get non-market housing. That in many cases works from less of an expectation of profit and more of an expectation of social mission, and that might be from investing in non-market housing, as Build Canada Homes is doing. It might be a more effective measure in terms of dealing with the absolutely disturbing number in housing starts and also in pre-sells for condominiums, which I can get into further if you wish.
