Mr. Speaker, I guess after the rough ride the minister had this summer he wants to get back. That is interesting.
There are two types of liability in this country. One type is on the books of the government and the other rest in the 24 seats in the front here.
I confirmed with the vice-president of finance for CMHC that if any of these mortgages are defaulted they are a liability against the government. Perhaps the minister missed that idea.
Will the minister commit today to introducing legislation to guarantee exclusive provincial control of housing, and if not, why not?
