Madam Speaker, that is a terrible question. At the end of the day, we are looking at this and wondering why the Liberal government is attempting to divide in order to distract. We are here to talk about housing. Here we are with the Liberals' NDP colleagues, and they want to talk about anything other than the unmitigated disaster of their housing program that has resulted in house prices doubling. It used to be that someone could get a mortgage for 25 years. Now, it takes 25 years to even save up for a down payment, and the Liberals want to talk about American politics. We are not the United States; we are the Conservative Party of Canada and we will bring home lower prices.

Madam Speaker, housing is extremely important, especially during winter, when being homeless or kicked out of one's home for any reason becomes a health hazard. Builders are now faced with mortgage rates so high that they cannot build housing and still turn a reasonable profit. Some even have to close down construction sites. Across Quebec, companies have to stop and wait before they can continue to build housing. I want to ask my colleague if he is seeing the same thing in his riding. What are the solutions to help these construction companies out?
