Mr. Chair, it is very telling that there are a number of former mayors in this House; some of them sit on that side of the House and have to listen to their own leader attacking mayors, calling them “woke” and “incompetent”. That is an affront to municipally elected local officials, who have been elected by Canadians to address issues around the permitting and delivery of housing.
In the House of Commons on May 15th, 2023. See this statement in context.
