The government sets tax policy, controls immigration levels, transfers infrastructure funding and sets regulatory frameworks. The question is not whether the government acts. It is whether the government acts in ways that remove barriers or add new layers. We believe a government should remove obstacles to building, not compete with builders. </p>",

Le gouvernement \u00e9tablit la politique fiscale, contr\u00f4le les seuils d'immigration, effectue les transferts dans le financement des infrastructures et \u00e9tablit les cadres r\u00e9glementaires. La question n'est pas de savoir si le gouvernement agit. La question est plut\u00f4t de savoir si le gouvernement agit de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 \u00e9liminer les obstacles ou \u00e0 les amplifier. De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre, nous croyons que le gouvernement devrait \u00e9liminer les obstacles \u00e0 la construction, pas faire concurrence aux constructeurs.</p>"
