Mr. Speaker, it is clear to me that my hon. colleague understands the problem in housing. This is a guy who used to build homes, so he actually understands the cost of local government, the cost of delays of the local government and the cost of development charges.
What the current federal Liberal government promised to do in the election campaign was to get development charges cut in half in cities where they are way too high. There is nothing in budget 2025 about that.
The Liberals have failed Canadians. When the real costs and real delays in getting homes built are at the local level and government costs are over 30% of the cost of a home, we know the solution. It is not another bureaucracy. It is getting government out of the way.
