Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague, the member for Mirabel, a riding to the north of my riding. I really enjoy his sense of humour and quick wit. I like that in my colleagues.
My colleague just told me a short while ago that he is leaning slightly in favour of Bill C‑26, an act to authorize certain payments to be made out of the consolidated revenue fund for the purpose of improving housing supply. It would indeed allow housing construction to move forward as quickly as possible.
I would like to know what my colleague thinks about that, considering that this is federal legislation. We are in a federation.
What are his thoughts on this matter, since we will be able to build housing faster in the provinces, the territories and his riding, Mirabel?
