Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Public Works.
On this, the 25th anniversary of the Office municipal d'habitation de Montréal, Mr. John Gardiner, the housing co-ordinator on Montreal's executive committee, has once again condemned the federal government's withdrawal from the social housing field. It should be noted that more than 10,000 families
or households in Montreal are currently on waiting lists for social housing.
My question is for the Minister of Public Works, who is responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
Since Mr. Gardiner has once again denounced the federal government's withdrawal from this area, are we to understand that his recent meeting with the minister was unproductive?
