I'd just respond to some of the comments that have been made.
First of all, national defence, Canadian Armed Forces housing and compensation for our serving members are all the responsibility of this government under Justin Trudeau. The out-of-control housing crisis, the hyperinflation that we're seeing and the housing crisis in Canada, especially in places like Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria, have skyrocketed because of what has proven to be created by this Liberal government and its policies.
We need to address this now. The reason I never signed on to the letter is that all it did was give time for the minister to maybe respond in the next six months. This is a crisis that's happening today. We have witnesses who have appeared in front of the Nova Scotia Legislature who said that there are members living in tents, couch surfing and putting themselves in harm's way.
I can't believe that we would sit around this table and try to delay this, that we would not bring this forward now and not expand our study and have these witnesses appear so that we can further drill down and make sure we get answers sooner than later. It keeps putting our members of the forces at risk.
