Madam Speaker, it is working. It has been working for me the whole time, so I wonder if the member just has a problem with his hearing piece.

Madam Speaker, I always enjoy how loudly the member speaks. I never have to wear a earpiece. In fact, if I do it actually hurts my hearing, so perhaps we should have a warning when he speaks in the House. In all honesty, I represent a large rural and remote riding and, in some of my smallest communities of 3,000 people, we are seeing homelessness reach a state that I never thought possible. Part of the reason is that there is no non-market housing, housing that is really reflective of the need, so that when people get there they are only spending about 30% of their income, which we know is best for everyone. With all of the discussions the member was having, why is there not an investment in getting that housing out the door so that people can have that respect they so well deserve?
