Mr. Speaker, our government has already done a number of practical things, such as establishing a $350‑million fund to provide resources to our police forces. With all due respect to my colleague, Bill C‑21 contains tangible measures to target organized crime, including by increasing criminal sanctions and giving new oversight powers to eliminate and prevent gun violence. We will work with the Bloc and every member to get this bill passed. It is very important. It is essential for protecting our communities.

Mr. Speaker, we are doing exactly that through the housing accelerator fund. The housing accelerator fund is all about supply, supply, supply, but they are on record as opposing the housing accelerator fund— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, let me start by thanking the member for Whitby, who is the hardest-working member in this House when it comes to social finance. Social purpose organizations like charities and non-profits play a key role in addressing complex social and environmental issues. They are more important than ever, as many of these issues have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. That is why we launched the renewed investment readiness program in the summer of 2021, which will provide another $50 million to continue to support social purpose organizations in building capacity and increasing their investment readiness. This will also help the social purpose organizations take advantage of the $755-million social finance fund. I thank the member for Whitby for his excellent work.
