Yes, sir.
What I was going to say was that as I listened to the dialogue go back and forth I was not convinced it would be a great idea for the federal government to get intimately involved in social housing if right now it's with the provinces. I say that from an accountability point of view. I understand if someone's not pleased with the decision-making of a level of government then it's let's get the other level of government involved, they'll set them straight. But actually it does remove accountability for the level of government under which that responsibility falls, if that makes sense. Sometimes by bringing in another level of government, it might give the illusion that this will solve our problems, but I'm not convinced it will.
Things do get complicated, as you can imagine. Mr. Harris is talking about all the provinces and territories across Canada. It can get complicated on these matters. When we provide money for affordable housing, it does get spent on affordable housing. We do ensure that. I've been at the announcements. For example, in my riding I know how much money's flowed into the riding for that. I've stood there, and been part of the announcements. So it is.
I understand what you're saying. The province can remove that element from their budget and park it somewhere else so it doesn't go to affordable housing. I understand that. Anyway, I just wanted to get your opinion on that, because I'm not convinced it would achieve what you might like it to achieve.
