Mr. Speaker, if Ottawa wanted to speed up housing construction in Quebec, it would give Quebec the money for housing. We are ready. We have our own permanent programs. We are actually the only ones in Canada who do. The Liberals could easily announce an unconditional transfer, but no, they are threatening to withhold that money from Quebec if it refuses to accept their conditions and fights with the federal government until 2025. We are in the midst of a housing crisis. People want housing, they do not want a fight with the federal government. Why not just give Quebec its share, with no strings attached, so we can get to work now, not in 2025?
