My family has gone full circle. My grandfather was a carpenter. My dad became a lawyer. I became a lawyer. My son is now a carpenter's apprentice, so we've gone full circle. We're certainly trying to do our part.
Innovation's great, but input costs are also a problem. We have an affordability problem with respect to homes and building homes. I think everyone would agree with me on that. Input costs are a big factor. I did my own little investigation, and Canada produces 13 million tonnes of cement. Cement is obviously used in construction. It's 0.6 tonnes of CO2 that's emitted for every tonne of cement. At $65 per tonne, the carbon tax works out to be half a billion dollars that's added to the cost of cement.
Would you agree with me that making inputs in the construction industry more expensive increases the affordability challenge that Canadians have of buying homes?
