Mr. Speaker, it is not surprising the minister read only a part of that report, because the report actually talks about how housing starts are falling. They are dropping dramatically, and the reason they are dropping is that the cost of government is just too high and housing construction is too expensive.
My question is simple. Instead of creating a fourth federal housing bureaucracy with the new Build Canada Homes, why will the government not deal with the real barriers to home building, which are taxes, fees and approvals, so builders can get building the homes that Canadians can afford?
