Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister. The day before yesterday the ministers responsible for housing were meeting in Bathurst. The Minister of Public Works may have a miraculous solution to propose to his counterparts, but we heard only empty rhetoric. He said, among other things: "We have made concrete moves to improve the quality of life of low-income Canadians everywhere".
Could the Deputy Prime Minister tell us, now that the housing conference in Bathurst has ended, whether the federal government and the provinces have agreed to implement new social housing initiatives?
