Mr. Speaker, the stepwise implementation of what is supposed to be transformational, which we hear from the government, has become something of a sense of déjà vu. I would suggest to my hon. friend, the parliamentary secretary, that we have seen this before with Build Canada Homes. First, we got a special operating agency in 2025. Then we got the same proposal for Build Canada Homes as a Crown in 2026. As a Crown corporation in 2026, it is still struggling to set itself up. I talk to people all the time who are saying that, when we had the old Crown corporation, CMHC, we moved faster.
What I am wondering about is, now that we are looking at a special operating agency for defence, I am sure at some point we will get a bill in here that says that the special operating agency for the Major Projects Office is going to become a Crown corporation. Can the hon. parliamentary secretary suggest why this route is preferred by the government?
