Madam Speaker, I very much enjoyed my colleague's reference to the “Carleton method”, which in some quarters of Ottawa is also known as the “Stornoway method.”
I would caution him on repeating Conservative slogans, because otherwise the Conservative whip's office might come and give him a gold star. However, I do share his concerns that what the Conservatives are proposing these days does not have a lot of substance to it. It might look good on the surface, but I would agree with him that we need more of a wholesale structural change, because we are facing a housing policy that is in deficit from 30 years of combined Liberal and Conservative governments. That is why we are where we are today.
Could the member offer a few more comments? Maybe he could expand on his remarks about how we need to take a deep dive into this, and how it needs to be a wholesale structural rethinking of how the federal government interacts with both the provinces and the municipalities. It cannot be a relationship based on petty insults and grievances, but one where there is collaborative working together.
