Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech and the ideas he has shared about the housing crisis.
My colleague stated earlier that the Conservatives cannot say the words “social housing”. I am therefore going to say them: “social housing”.
In 2009 and 2011, when I was here in the House of Commons under a Conservative government, funding was made available for housing co-operatives in my riding. Members cannot say that Conservatives never did that. On the contrary, we did so several times.
Regardless of the percentage of land available or not, what we proposed in our election platform was to make land available to volunteer organizations or co-operatives in order to create social housing. I will say it again, “social housing”. Does my colleague think that is a good solution?
