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.

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?
