Mr. Speaker, I have said many times in the House that one of the biggest impediments to getting homes built is, in fact, cities, provinces and a federal government that tax the life out of homebuilding. Of the cost of every new home built in this country, 33% is government.
Nobody makes more money on housing than government, so the NDP, the Liberals and all their lefty friends can continue to demonize private sector investment in housing, but we need $3 trillion of investment in housing in this country, and governments are going to make a fortune from it if we do not reduce the cost and get them out of the way. That is the real problem: We need to get governments out of the way, reduce the cost and get this country building again.
