Mr. Speaker, it is not just the CBC losing jobs at Christmas time. CMHC today announced that more than 200 people are being laid off in this city today.
Close to a quarter of a million in the country are homeless, and what does the government do in the middle of a housing crisis? It lays off the very people responsible for providing housing.
In the minister's own province of Manitoba, close to 10,000 people will lose their housing in the next 5 years. Most of them are seniors.
Listing agreements the government has already signed is not acceptable. The status quo is not acceptable. When will the government stop cutting and start building housing again?
