Mr. Speaker, well, I think we can all agree that the Prime Minister needs better math. However, here is the math. The Altus Group says that Canada's development charges are significantly higher and our wait times for getting building permits are the second-slowest in the entire OECD. What is the Prime Minister doing? He is giving half a billion dollars to the City of Toronto, which has just increased its development charges and its permit wait times by 50%. Once again, why does the Prime Minister keep funding the gatekeepers instead of removing them so we can build the homes?
