Madam Speaker, I was particularly interested in the section of the member's speech about affordable housing and how Vancouver had become one of the most expensive places to live in Canada.
I would note that it was during the Conservative government's time that tax loopholes, and the use of real estate as a tax haven and as a place to launder money, drove up real estate prices in Vancouver. We are feeling it here in my riding of Nanaimo—Ladysmith. We also have predatory investors who are investing in affordable housing: real estate investment trusts that pay a very low tax rate.
Does the hon. member think we need more regulation in the housing market? Does he think we should have rent and vacancy—
