Mr. Speaker, I know that this member is an honourable member, and I know that he cares about his community. A few weeks ago, I spoke with Peterborough's Mayor Jeff Leal, who is a good man. He cares about his community and is doing a great job in that city. I told him of the government's plan to invest over $10 million, through the housing accelerator fund, to build more housing. The Conservatives want to cut that investment, among others. Will the member join the other Conservative MPs who are advocating for the accelerator fund to ensure that more homes get built? I hope that he does; the mayor is asking.
