His father worked paving roads and his mother made sandwiches in a senior's home. They were able to pay off their home 10 minutes from Parliament Hill in seven years.

their grandchildren wouldn't be able to save up a down payment for that home in 15 years. And they will be university educated with all the advantages of having been here two decades. That is the consequence of the money supply growing vastly quicker than the stuff that money buys. So what we have to do is stop growing the money supply and start growing the stuff money buys, right?

Produce more energy, grow more food, build more homes. We have to unleash the free enterprise system to produce more stuff of value. And this is where we have to remove the artificial scarcity that the government is imposing on the population. Let's incentivize our municipalities to grant the fastest building permits in the world to build homes.

Yes. I mean, I'm going to say to the municipal governments, they either speed up permits cut development charges and free up land, or they will lose their federal infrastructure money. So they will have a powerful carrot and stick incentive to speed up home building.

Yes, that includes everything. So I'll tell you how they calculate it. CD Howe, took the cost of building, compared the cost of building a home to the cost of buying a home. And he said, what's the gap between those two things? So they added up land, labor, profit for the developer, materials, and they compared that to the sale price. And they found the gap was $1.2 million.

So that's $1.2 million of extra cost above and beyond the materials, the labor, the land, and the profit for the developer. So where's that going? Well, the answer is development charges, sales taxes, land transfer taxes, the delays in getting the permit, time is money, the consultants, lawyers, accountants, lobbyists that the developer has to hire in order to get the approval.

So in other words, we're spending twice, in Vancouver, We spend twice as much on bureaucrats than we do on all other things combined to build a home. More money goes to bureaucrats than goes to the carpenters, electricians, and plumbers who build the place. And to add insult to injury, those tradespeople who build homes can't afford to live in them. So what we need to do is slash the bureaucracy.
