Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of respect for my colleague. We worked together well in the Atlantic caucus. I want to thank him again for all the great work he did in our caucus.
According to my sources, my colleague and I received a number of project proposals under the housing accelerator fund in collaboration with municipalities. Members will recall that Pierre Poilievre said the fund was ineffective, and he even asked his MPs not to push our government to help municipalities interested in moving ahead with some of those projects.
I would like my colleague to tell me whether he thinks his riding benefited from the fund. Does he think our new “build Canada homes” initiative will help build more housing in rural regions like ours in Atlantic Canada?
