Replying to Kristina Tesser Derksen (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague mentioned municipalities in her speech. I am a former municipal councillor. Municipalities at any given time have a lot of balls in the air that they have to balance. One of the big ones is housing. I am wondering if my colleague could comment further on the role she sees municipalities playing and how this legislation would impact municipalities positively.”

Therefore, they are working with the town. They are working with the municipality and collating a larger project that is going to help over 3,000 people in my riding, ²Reasoning · 5 wordsso these partnerships are key.
