Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I was glad I could provide at least some sort of an audience. I want to go back to the question that my colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé asked another colleague earlier. Instead of introducing measures that are little more than publicity stunts, that may have some short-term effect but that do nothing to provide a modicum of predictability to address future labour shortages, would it not be better to force the government to dedicate 1% of its budget to building affordable and social housing? That would be a long-term solution to prevent future crises. It would be the responsible thing to do. What does my colleague think about that suggestion?
