Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to my colleagues.
Minister, thank you so much for coming. I certainly want to thank you personally for your leadership and the programs that have come to my beautiful riding of Saint John-Rothesay, whether it's through the housing accelerator fund, the co-investment fund or the rapid housing initiative. All of those federal programs are making a major difference in my riding.
Just let me say this, Minister. It does puzzle me when we look at the Conservatives and how critical they are, with really a lack of a plan to address this issue. They just don't put a plan forward. I mean, there are half-hearted measures. The leader of the Conservative Party just wants to fight with municipalities.
Obviously, the leader of the Conservative Party, in my opinion, has been hiding his plan and delaying debate on his private member's bill. If his plan is so great, why doesn't the Conservative leader just share his plan with Canadians?
