Mr. Speaker, I heard the member speak about the supply side of housing and the importance of that. He bragged about the government's various different programs.
I wonder if he would acknowledge, though, that one of the key flaws in the government's housing accelerator program is that in the larger centres that were getting huge sums of money, those cities were also increasing the cost to build homes. If we have a housing crisis in this country, we have to acknowledge that it is a cost of housing crisis.
Why would the government give money to cities that are raising the cost to build homes?
