The housing crisis is not only something in southern Ontario; the housing crisis is throughout.

We are very fortunate, in Ontario, to be leaders in mining. In many little communities throughout my riding, you see mining explorations; you see new mines setting up shop. All of those mean that you need workers to do all of this work. That is so important to the GDP of our province, to the future of our province, and to the economies of the north. But in order to have a worker, you need them to have a place to live.

When the government owns homes that they do not put up for sale, it is not well received by the people of the north.

There are presently over $1 billion worth of requests that have been made to the government for interdisciplinary teams and zero dollars that have come out of this government for interdisciplinary primary health care teams.
