Mr. Speaker, there is great contrast on this particular issue. On the one hand, we have a government that understands that the federal government has to play an important role in housing, by working with municipalities and provinces. That will, in fact, make a difference.
Contrast that to the Conservatives and their whole theme, which is to get out of the way, just like their leader. When he was the minister responsible, years ago, for housing, he built less than six houses. I still do not know where they are.
I wonder if the member would not recognize that the federal government does and can have a role to play, which we are playing, as the legislation clearly shows.
Will they vote for the legislation? If they are going to vote against it, will they allow it to at least go to committee?
