I think we need to consider the political chess at play with this announcement. No one expects this to ever see the light of day. I suspect there's three motives:
1. Lead the policy debate by arguing you're the government of "yes," while the opposition are the parties of "no"
2. Excite his donor base (road builders, gravel industry, LIUNA, etc.) to make sure they pull out the cheque book for the incoming election
3. Sidetrack the media with silly proposals so that they don't talk about the Greenbelt, housing prices of hospital wait times
