  Glenna m But it's always refreshing to watch Pierre Poulev answer questions, no deflection,
• 0:07
  no words outs, just the facts and numbers. Let's hear this.
• 0:11
  My question is regarding the housing. From has said the Canada leeds five point
• 0:18
  eight million houses to rest to the housing a portability. Liberal says that they
• 0:23
  have that already in the budget to be focused on the the housing and the
• 0:28
  famous for the Canadians. Which you disagree, Why do you disagree? And
• 0:33
  what's your plane? Okay, I don't disagree. The math disagrees. They've
• 0:40
  promised they're going to build. So they promised they're going to double home building.
• 0:44
  Their own housing agency said since they made that promise, home building has
• 0:48
  gone down and that it will go down next year and the year after that.
• 0:54
  Look at my exchange with Trudeau in the House of Commons this week last
• 0:57
  week to get to three point nine nine million, forget five point nine million,
• 1:02
  to get to three point nine million new homes by the scheduled deadline of
• 1:07
  twenty thirty one. That Trudea promised he needs to build five hundred and fifty
• 1:11
  thousand homes a year. I asked him six times in the House of commons,
• 1:15
  Are we going to build five hundred and fifty thousand homes this year?
• 1:19
  He wouldn't answer. Now, I believe that's because Trudeau has absolutely no idea
• 1:25
  what he's doing and is hoping that nothing more than endless platitudes will somehow miraculously
• 1:32
  carry him through the next election. Well, the truth is he's on track
• 1:36
  right now to building about two hundred thousand homes, not even half of what
• 1:40
  he's promised. It's amount of matter of me disagreeing. It's a mathematical fact
• 1:44
  he's not delivering. It's a mathematical fact that nine years ago, when I
• 1:49
  was Housing minister, the average rent for a one bedroom was nine hundred and
• 1:52
  seventy three dollars. Now it's two thousand. Right, these are the facts,
• 1:59
  so you can Has he spent a lot of money on housing programs?
• 2:02
  Yes, he spent eighty nine billion dollars on housing affordability and the result is
• 2:07
  that housing costs have doubled. The problem is he's putting the money into bureaucracy.
• 2:14
  Government bureaucrats don't build homes. Private sector builders do. Government bureaucrats are
• 2:21
  in the way. Here's an interesting tidbit. Federal government has increased the number
• 2:27
  of public service employees by more than forty percent over the last eight years.
• 2:30
  The Trudeau government has expanded the size of the federal public service to ensure it
• 2:36
  plays a more active role in the Canadian economy. Yeah, that didn't work
• 2:39
  out so well. So we need to get the government bureaucracy out of the
• 2:44
  way and deliver fast, affordable permits to build the homes. One third of
• 2:51
  the cost of every newly built home in Ontario is government permits and taxes one
• 2:58
  third. That's more than we spend on the labor to build the home.
• 3:01
  So we're spending more on the bureaucrats who don't build anything than we do on
• 3:07
  the carpenters, framers, plumbers and electricians who build. Isn't that insane?
• 3:13
  It doesn't make sense. We need to cut the bureaucracy, and that's why
• 3:16
  my common Sense plan will require cities free up land, speed up permits,
• 3:21
  cut development charges and fees as a condition of getting federal funds. If they
• 3:25
  don't hit my targets, they won't get their money and there'll be less of
• 3:29
  those bureaucrats in those corner offices. So if they beat the target, they'll
• 3:34
  get more money. We're going to pay our municipalities the way we pay realtors
• 3:37
  and builders for the number of homes. So if Trudeau is still the leader
• 3:42
  during the next election, he is going to get slaughtered in the debates with
• 3:46
  this guy. What does Paulief have. He has a grasp and the ability
• 3:52
  to articulate his ideas clearly right, and he has a grasp of the issues.
• 3:58
  He understands the details. He can pull out the details at will.
• 4:01
  He understands these issues in a multi dimensional way, and he can express it.
• 4:08
  He knows what he's talking about. That's the point. If it's Trudeau's
• 4:13
  platitudes and Trudeau's fear mongering against this, Trudeau is going to get slaughtered.
• 4:19
  It's He's not gonna go up in the polls. He's going to go even
• 4:24
  further down. You know, he can't compete against this because we are now
• 4:28
  in serious times. Platitudes don't work when the shit hits the fan, and
• 4:32
  the ship has hit the fan in Canada anyway. That's all I'm gonna say
• 4:36
  about that. Please like, share and subscribe. Sharing really helps me out.

  I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
