I want to thank the honourable member for his question. I’m always disappointed in him for not supporting our government’s community housing renewal, social services relief fund and all of our housing supply action plans. Pretty well every one, universally, he’s either voted against or spoken against. He has never supported our call to ask the federal government for the $480 million that we’re owed, even though some federal Greens have indicated support for that.

At the end of the day, our consultation with Ontarians is going to do two things: It’s going to grow the greenbelt by over 2,000 acres, which I think is a very positive opportunity—including the Paris-Galt moraine that this member had a private member’s bill in respect to—but at the same time, it will provide an opportunity with 50,000 homes at a minimum on land that’s existing, that’s serviced, that’s adjacent to an urban area. These locations were selected for a purpose, and the purpose is to get shovels in the ground faster.
