Mr. Speaker, I agree with my hon. colleague that we are in a crisis. We need affordable housing. We need rental housing. We need homes that people can buy. We need homes that people can rent. We need to increase supply.
We have the smallest number of housing units per capita in the G7, with the most land to build on, and that is exactly why we want to see more purpose-built housing. We want to incentivize that building. We want it done efficiently, and we want it done solidly, but there is no reason it should take the kind of time it does or that the bureaucratic hoops people have to go through should add such an egregious cost to it.
We need to understand that we are in a crisis. We need more. Canadians are suffering, and this has to end.
