Mr. Speaker, everyone has their own priorities. We are talking about investing in housing, but the Bloc members are saying no, they need a referendum. We are talking about investing in our young people and our seniors. The Bloc says they need a referendum. We are talking about ensuring that kids no longer go to school hungry. The Bloc says no, and that the solution to everything is a referendum. While they are preparing for a referendum, we are preparing for the future.

Mr. Speaker, we are working with Quebec to ensure that it receives its fair share of the housing funds. For example, we have reached an agreement with Quebec on the housing accelerator program. We are providing $900 million in federal funds and Quebec is investing $900 million. That adds up to $1.8 billion and 8,000 affordable housing units. We are moving forward with programs to ensure that Quebec receives support, like everywhere else in the country.
