Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his comment. It is agreed that CMHC is a benefit to the economy, absolutely. We do not dispute that. The difficulty we have is upping the ante.
We recognize where CMHC has been and will continue to be. To this point in time it is fine. The country is broke. Right now we cannot see increasing the ante by $50 billion. We think it inappropriate at this point in time.
