Mr. Speaker, one of the suggestions made by my colleague from northern Manitoba was that Canada should institute a national housing program so that we could use a lot of materials within our own country to help support national housing programs and build units across Canada so that no one would have to be homeless. It would do two things. It would provide quality homes and jobs for people, and provide homeless people with a place to live. Would my hon. colleague from Medicine Hat support that type of initiative?
