Mr. Speaker, we in the Bloc Québécois share my colleague's concerns about the centralizing and bureaucratic nature of Build Canada Homes. Of course we want housing to be built and we want the federal government to invest.
I will give an example. There is a program from the Quebec government in my riding, but the situation is somewhat similar. The cost of modular homes was calculated, and the same rule was applied all across Quebec. However, the government did not take into account the fact that, in the Gaspé, house parts need to be delivered. As a result, everyone who was accepted for the program is now short on funds to finance the construction.
Could my colleague comment on the fact that the bill seeks to give Build Canada Homes the power to carry out construction work? Is there not once again a risk that Ottawa will impose a one-size-fits-all solution and think it can oversee housing construction?
