Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. He talked about how long it takes to build a building.
As we know, when the government introduced the national housing strategy, we expected it to solve all of the problems in the world in five years, when most of those problems originated under Chrétien in particular and have been around since the nineties, so we need to be patient.
We also know that these motions are a way of making proposals to the government, and I think it is quite healthy to take inventory of these properties. The fact that the government does not already have the inventory of these properties at its disposal is worrisome.
It is an entirely good thing to take that inventory and then determine what should be done with those properties.
