Mr. Speaker, forgive me if I do not trust a government that bought a pipeline, spent an extra $38 billion to build a pipeline and had time extended on how long it took to build that pipeline. The Liberals have never seen a problem they did not think government could fix. I do not believe building a bigger government bureaucracy is going to build more homes for Canadians.
I do see, though, 30 mills closing and a shortage of lumber as a problem for building homes. I see 106,000 people out of work, many of them in the construction industry, as an issue for building homes. The softwood lumber industry is in crisis because the Liberals cannot get a deal done, and mills are shutting down. Therefore, we do not have the people to build the homes, and we do not have the material to build the homes. I have never seen a bureaucrat pound a nail. I do not think more bureaucrats are going to get homes built for Canadians.
