Madam Speaker, I will push back and say that the government allocated approximately $100 billion to make housing more affordable, but despite these record investments, we did not see the homes built that Canadians need. Government does indeed have a role to play. The leading reasons why homes are not being built are, number one, red tape and permitting processes; number two, access to workers to build the homes we need; number three, access to businesses to do that work to build the homes.
I believe that the government could have designed its programs more effectively, and the Liberals could have pushed municipalities to push for more density in the period of time that they have had in office. They did not even mention pushing for densification or tying infrastructure dollars to the number of housing starts until the last few months, even though it is well known that these are some of the key things that we can do to increase supply.
