Madam Chair, I am glad my colleague asked that question, because I am a former city councillor who is now in the House. I was duly elected as a municipal councillor, and, for the first time in the House, we hear a leader attacking municipalities and the leaders of the municipalities who were duly elected. We do not get things done by insulting people but by supporting them and making sure they can be at the table with the tools they need to partner with all provincial and federal governments to get more houses built in this country.
In the House of Commons on May 15th, 2023. See this statement in context.
