Mr. Speaker, that is precisely the point. There would be no accountability measures. There would be nothing to which one can say that using $1.7 billion of taxpayers' money would generate a specific return for the people in Canada. There would be zero accountability measures and zero targets. There is none of that information whatsoever in the bill.
As I was saying earlier, I was trying to get from the government what exactly the allocation would be and what the formula is that the government used to decide how to divide the money between the provinces and territories. The Liberals could not even give me that. It was after much to-do, when they were desperate to try to get a unanimous consent motion through, that they then came forward with that information.
Guess what. A whole bunch of provinces would be getting only $10 million out of this. That would not address the housing crisis, would it? The government just says, “Trust us. We will fix it.” Oh, will it really?
