Thank you.
We've come forward with programs through the national housing strategy, whether it's the co-investment program, the rapid housing initiative, the apartment construction loan program or the housing accelerator fund.
As a point of clarity on the housing accelerator fund, the purpose of that fund is to incentivize change. We're working, I think, very effectively across the country with municipalities to incentivize that change. Can the program be strengthened? It's a new program. Sure. However, the municipalities I talk to, and certainly those in my riding of Saint John—Rothesay—we were there to do an announcement a few months back—are very appreciative of the program. I think that goes for most municipalities across the country.
As a point of reference, all of those programs that we have come forward with, the Conservative Party has voted against. One of them was the right to housing. That right to housing was embedded in our national housing strategy and, again, the Conservatives voted against it.
I respect my colleagues very much. I know their job is to challenge, but when you vote against every one of those initiatives and really don't come forward with solutions of your own, that's a cause for concern.
