Mr. Speaker, the member for York West is the chair of the Liberal urban task force. I attended one of the meetings in Vancouver.
It is correct that many groups are pleading with the government for infrastructure, for sewage upgrading, water upgrading, public transit, housing.
I would like to draw to the member's attention that there was a previous Liberal task force on housing. It was chaired by the now finance minister when in opposition in 1990. In the report he pointed out the great need for housing. We have seen no action on that.
How does the member expect Canadians to have any belief in the credibility of a task force, when we see a task force put forward for political reasons and the actual resources--
