The concern is that the private sector hasn't done the job and it's not going to do the job. That's been clear ever since Paul Martin promised it was going to do the job, and that's why we're in the crisis we're in.
At the same time, Doug Ford has hit only 19% of the targets. He claimed that houses that were already built should be counted as new. I mean, it's ridiculous. This man is failing our region in a dramatic way.
We have mayors ready to get to the table, and they're looking to the federal government. We know you're cutting deals with cities, but what about municipalities that are smaller? Doug Ford is not going to come up and do anything for our northern communities, but the communities are ready to go.
