Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech but, once again, what emerged was a desire for centralization. Know-it-all Ottawa is trying to lecture municipalities and impose its ideas on them.
I have a question for my colleague. Why not simply support the Bloc's housing and infrastructure ideas? We asked the government to renew the rapid housing initiative and make it permanent. That is how Quebec successfully built social and community housing. We also asked for an unconditional infrastructure transfer specific to Quebec.
These measures would have allowed the government to help Quebec build housing without encroaching on municipalities or Quebec and without beating them over the head.
