Mr. Long, I can't speak for him, but I find it curious that the private member's bill he has put forward continues to be delayed. I expect it's because it has been widely criticized by folks who operate in the housing space. It's been very poorly received.
They did publish a plan, but it doesn't have any policies around some of the issues we've been asked about today. It doesn't have any policies that address municipal zoning reform. It doesn't have any policies that address development cost charges. It doesn't have any policies that address homelessness or affordable housing. What it actually does is very curious. It increases taxes on new rental construction by putting the GST back on units.
When you look at the proposed super fund, it represents a nearly 98% cut to funding to support municipalities to increase their targets. It applies in only 22 communities across Canada, none of which in my region would benefit. I look at some of the members represented here. Their plan specifically excludes some represented by the Conservative members here, including Muskoka, Durham and Kelowna. They don't benefit from the Conservative plan.
We see that it's got some bizarre policies around a NIMBY snitch line to hire a lot of public servants to answer the phone if somebody doesn't like their neighbour's housing policies.
When it comes to public land, it has a plan to sell off 6,000 properties to the highest bidder—with no control for affordability—that will forever release them from public ownership.
I expect, because the plan would have a severe negative impact on homebuilding in Canada, that's likely the reason why Mr. Poilievre won't bring it forward for debate in the House of Commons.
