Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for raising this issue. It is obviously an issue that is very important for Canadians not only in Vancouver but throughout Canada.
I wonder if the member could reflect on how we have found ourselves in this situation after 13 years of Liberal mismanagement of the file.
The minister is going to speak later on. I will have an opportunity, as will the member for Yellowhead and others to give the government's perspective on this very important issue.
I wonder if the member could frame the things that the Liberal government failed to do when it had the opportunity to do so.
