Mr. Speaker, I want to talk about a bad idea. Members will know that the leader of the Conservative Party had another idea and this one is a real winner.
Let us talk about the housing accelerator fund. What is the leader of the Conservative Party is going to say? That he is going to kill it. He is going to get rid of that particular program. He needs to start listening to what the Conservatives are actually saying. Let me tell him what they are saying. One said, “If by any chance I attended a municipal housing announcement funded by a Liberal initiative, I would be in a lot of trouble”. Another one said, “It's extremely frustrating”. One Conservative source told Radio-Canada, “MPs are being stopped from helping their cities for partisan reasons.”
The leader of the Conservative Party needs to free up his Conservatives, the Progressive Conservatives, to get behind the housing accelerator fund, or better yet do a flip-flop and support the program.
