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.

And I'm going to say to the mayors, you're not getting federal infrastructure money until you slash your development charges, speed up your permits. I'm going to take the federal GST off new homes under a certain limit and encourage the provinces to do the same. But we've got so much land. We should have the most affordable housing in the world.

It should be dirt cheap because we have the most dirt. We just need to get the government out of the way. The same goes for our resource sector. Why is it that we're still importing oil when we've got the world's third biggest supply? Why is it we can't export our natural gas overseas?

Well, you look at the price of natural gas is three to five times higher in both Europe and Asia than it is in North America, which means there's a hell of a lot of profit to arbitrage in getting our product over there. In the last 10 years, the Americans have added, I think, six liquefaction plants. The Qataris have massively increased their production.

Canada has not completed a single new liquefaction facility. There's one that's supposed to come online soon in Kitimat that was approved by the Harper government. It's only now coming online. The Germans actually built an import terminal in 194 days from concept to completion.

We've had direct formal requests for our natural gas from Japan, Greece, Germany, France, and I'm probably missing some others. We have the fifth biggest supply. We have cold weather, which makes it much cheaper to liquefy gas. It takes 11 days to ship to Asia from BC. It takes 20 days from the US Gulf Coast. So it's basically half the shipping time.
