Mr. Chair, at least we got an answer.
I have another question for the minister.
We learned today that the Trans Mountain pipeline will cost $30 billion. I weep to see that. To make matters worse, this is coming from a government that said it would not invest another penny in fossil fuels.
We have a severe housing crisis in Quebec and Canada. There are not enough housing units for the most disadvantaged members of our society. I visited the social housing in Quebec. In Longueuil, in my riding, there are 17 people sharing a three-bedroom apartment. In Trois‑Rivières, a woman who was the victim of domestic violence is sleeping in her car with her two children. Meanwhile, the government is spending $30 billion on outdated energies.
When the minister learned in cabinet that the cost of the Trans Mountain project had increased to $30 billion, did he raise his hand to say that he would take a few billion dollars to build social housing in Quebec and Canada?
