Mr. Chair, it costs roughly $600,000 for red tape alone in the city of Vancouver, and what has that minister done as a consequence? He has shovelled more billions into the coffers of municipal red tape gatekeepers.
Our proposal is precisely the opposite. We will link the number of dollars a big city gets for infrastructure to the number of houses that actually get built. We will require more housing to be built to get more infrastructure dollars, and we will fine gatekeepers who block infrastructure and block housing. We are going to attach dollars to result, remove the gatekeepers and speed up and lower the cost of building permits in order to get it done and to bring it home.
