Madam Speaker, in my riding of Kitchener South—Hespeler, the housing accelerator fund is being praised by municipal partners, non-profit housing providers and my constituents who are seeking options for affordable and accessible housing. The fund will provide over $40 million to Kitchener to fast-track the construction of over 1,200 new homes over the next three years and more than 37,500 homes over the next decade. A few weeks ago, the Conservative leader announced his plan to cut this funding for Kitchener and communities across the country.
Can the minister explain the cost of Conservative cuts—
