I won't deal with the politics. That's beyond my domain. I just deal with the data, the numbers.
Let me state something. It's very obvious. Every one of us knows this. The municipalities control the permitting, and they control the zoning. It's not the federal government. It's not the provincial government. It's right down at the end. Believe me, I've renovated my house many times. I've gone through the zoning process. I've gone through the permitting process.
In Canada, in the big cities, it's very bureaucratic. It's very delayed. The numbers are showing it. You can say, “Well, those are just big cities, and they should have a different comparator.” Yet, when you look at a city of the same size in the States—not even the same.... They're literally five times faster.
