Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister indicated that not only would this legislation not cost the government any money, that is, increasing the ceiling on the mortgage insurance, but that there is a return to the government. That is important.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister also indicated that this kind of initiative permits the enhancement to the quality of life for Canadians because it ensures that additional housing is available, thereby creating jobs. We all know that appropriate lodging is a basic fundamental plank in the quality of life for not only Canadians but people throughout the world.
I find that rather interesting and it is important that we look at that very carefully and embrace that kind of concept, an initiative which will ensure that the quality of life for Canadians is enhanced through pieces of legislation such as this one.
