First of all, I just need to help the hon. member with his math. We are not having an election in 2015. It could be in 2025 but 2015 has already gone by. Questions and comments, the hon. member for York—Simcoe.

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals knew that increasing immigration levels would exacerbate the housing crisis. They did it anyway. Today, the consequences are blowing up in their face and there is no sign of them rectifying the situation, which they seem incapable of doing. No, on the contrary, in 2024, the number of immigrants will increase to 485,000 and in 2025, to 500,000. Even in the middle of a crisis, they continue to increase immigration targets against the advice of their public service and economists. When will they do the responsible thing and adjust immigration levels to integration capacity?

Madam Speaker, this economic statement obviously will not make history because it was supposed to address an urgent situation, namely the housing crisis, but the only solutions the Liberals proposed for solving the housing crisis will not apply until 2025 or 2026. We are talking about budgets. They are saying that construction will be pushed back by a year or two or three. Considering the other agreements the Liberal government is making with the provinces, like Quebec, we may have to wait another three years. I would like to know if my colleague feels any embarrassment over this situation. When will there be money to build housing in Rouyn-Noranda or anywhere else in Quebec?
