Mr. Chair, the answer is quite simple. We do not want more bureaucracy. What we want is to be able to build homes.
Currently, the number of houses being built in Canada is at its lowest level since the 1970s. What has the Liberal government built? It has not built any houses during all these years. Instead, it has built bureaucracy. That makes no sense. All these bureaucrats are not the ones building houses.
Obviously we need wood, and we have wood in Canada. We also have a market right next door in the United States. We are partners with those people. In 2006, Mr. Harper resolved this issue in just 80 days. Ten years later, it still has not been resolved. That is why I voted against the budget.
