Madam Speaker, in this situation, Conservatives are supposed to support whatever the leader of the Conservative Party says; they do not really have a choice in that matter. The member for Abbotsford is one of the individuals who went a little offside and we all know what happened with him.
The housing accelerator fund has benefited communities in every region of the country, including indigenous communities. There is so much potential with that program and looking at the expansion of housing co-ops. Last month, I was at a press conference hosted by Raising the Roof. Funding was provided by the federal government to Raising the Roof, an organization based in Ontario and now in Manitoba, to remodel and revitalize a home on Mountain Avenue. The house was dilapidated and the organization turned it into a wonderful rental. It is a great example of how the federal government, whether through the accelerator fund or other programs, is working with different municipalities, indigenous leaders and others.
It is something that is very local, involving many different stakeholders. Raising the Roof went to Manitoba, found a project on Mountain Avenue and went to Purpose Construction. Purpose Construction is a social enterprise that has done phenomenal work in hiring individuals, increasing their skill sets and showing them, in many ways, the benefits of the construction industry. They are the ones who did the work on Mountain Avenue.
Then if we look at the tenants, Siloam Mission, another non-profit organization, is the filter. It provides homes for two families and possibly a third individual, such as a student or something of that nature, of indigenous background. As a government, we have the national housing strategy, we have been working with the different levels of government on programs like the housing accelerator fund, and we have been working with different non-profit stakeholders like Habitat for Humanity, Raising the Roof and others that encourage and promote housing co-ops.
The federal government and the Prime Minister have been focused on the housing issues of Canadians. Let us contrast that to likely the worst minister of housing in Canada's history, the current leader of the Conservative Party. I love the contrast on that file, and I hope members will reflect on it.
Therefore, I move:
That the question be now put.
