Mr. Speaker, Canadians cannot afford their homes. A house is not simply four walls and a roof. A house is the single largest investment most Canadians will ever own. Even more important, a home is a place where people start their families, where they celebrate with family and mark some of the most important events of their lives.
The reality is that if people own a variable mortgage or if they have just renewed their mortgage, their interest rate payments have doubled. We must get these inflationary policies under control.
I call upon the government to stop deficit spending and to get interest rates and inflation under control. However, the Liberals cannot help themselves. They just want to spend and spend. The only way that Canadians will be able to retain their homes is for the Prime Minister to lose his taxpayer-funded house.
