The ability to produce the goods that are needed to build homes in this country is being severely limited, yet the government has done nothing about that. The question · 42 wordsIs the minister going to advocate and push to try to get the sawmills open again so that Canada can produce the things that are needed, which, by doing so, would actually bring down the cost of building homes in this country?
