Mr. Speaker, in relation to development charges, our government has incentivized municipalities to freeze or lower those development charges through the housing accelerator fund. All of those funds that go directly to municipalities are predicated on municipalities either freezing or lowering those charges to make it easier for developers to afford and to make the math work on new housing developments.
That is exactly why we went forward with the housing accelerator fund. It was both to incentivize municipalities to build medium density but also to speed up the approvals and planning processes, and to lower or at least freeze development charges. Those things have been put in place. I know that many of the members opposite actually secretly, in defiance of their leader, advocated for that program to continue, and there was quite the shake-up in the Conservative Party. Why? It is because they know that program works. Their leader just does not like it or want to admit it.
