Madam Chair, if this member would like to help Canadians, he could do his job by answering questions. This is committee of the whole, not question period. There is a fine contingent of public servants here with binders and briefcases. I am sure they could help this member answer this question: What would the effect of an increase of half a percentage point be on the cost to service the national debt?

Madam Chair, the Prime Minister, several times in the last two weeks, has touted that program as part of the government's housing solution. In July 2021, the government had only funded 9,000 out of the 100,000 expected. Could he give us an update on that program, and how many mortgages have been funded under the first-time homebuyer initiative?
