Thank you very much. Now that's settled, we can move on to serious matters.
You heard my Liberal Party colleague discuss co‑operatives. I share your love for co‑operatives. There are a few of them in Rosemont—La-Petite-Patrie, and they're really great. They offer a good living environment and a good model of democracy and citizen participation. However, they sometimes find it hard to do renovations and continue their activities. When unforeseen circumstances arise, they can't always afford the necessary work. It's as though they've fallen into neglect 20 or 30 years after they were established.
I've cited co‑operatives as an example, but what could the federal government do to guarantee that housing remains truly affordable?
