Mr. Speaker, the member is not a very good student of history. The Conservatives built lots of houses. That is clear.
The member also was not listening to what I was saying. What I said, especially right at the end of my speech, and he could have recalled that, is that is exactly what we need to do. We need to go to municipalities. We need to go directly to them with the bureaucracies that we have, with the minister's department, CMHC and Canada Lands Company. These all exist today.
Instead of spending billions of dollars more on a new bureaucracy, we could take that money, talk to municipalities and provinces, find out what needs to be done and get it done. Building a new bureaucracy does nothing. It does nothing for the real problem, which is creating more houses in Canada.
