Minister, it would seem that the cost of construction is so high that builders cannot build at a price that consumers can afford. This is the legacy of your government. This is a problem that has been creeping in for the last 10 years. You now have sellers who can't sell and buyers who can't buy.
You're going to need more than what is contained in this bill to address affordability. Productivity in this country is stagnant. Per capita GDP is the same as it was 10 years ago, when this government took office. How will you possibly achieve your housing goals in this environment where wages are stuck and costs are too high?
