Well, I’m quite happy that you ended talking about housing. We all agree that it doesn’t matter where you live in Ontario; there are many, many people facing difficulty finding housing. One part of this would be to have more affordable housing projects going up throughout Ontario, including in my own riding.

Could you tell me, after having read Bill 3, Strong Mayors, Building Homes Act, how many times do they talk about homes in the act? Do they specifically talk about affordable housing in the act, and how we will make sure that the people who actually need housing get housing through this act? I haven’t been able to find it, but you usually read those things better than I do.

I truly enjoyed your entire speech, but the beginning of your speech where we heard, 17 times in a row, the word “power”—

Interjection: Nineteen.

If you were to read the entire bill, would you say that supportive housing is found in that bill? Would you say that housing is a big part of the bill? We know that it’s not in the intro, because you read it out for us. But we all know, in your riding, like in mine, affordable housing is something that’s very important. It’s something that we hear about no matter which communities we go into. There are people who cannot afford a place to live. Is it in the bill?
