With respect to co‑operating with the provinces, it's true that's one way the federal government could provide help. Regardless of the party in power, it stopped investing in housing long ago, and now it's decided to invest again, which is good. It's time to act.
However, could a summit on the housing crisis be a solution based on co‑operation and dialogue that would help ensure that everyone has the same objective? We've previously held a summit on car theft. That's hardly a joke. We should have the same objective on these issues, although I wouldn't want a summit to delay specific measures.
Could that kind of summit deliver the necessary shock to make us act?
