According to our figures, more than half of people in Laval spend more than 30% of their incomes on housing, which is the generally accepted standard. You're right. The waiting list for low-cost public housing in Laval is extremely long. The problem of homelessness is increasingly pressing. However, Laval is one of the cities in Quebec that, all other things being equal, has fewer social housing units. It's one of the cities where a catch-up effort has to be made in the area of social housing.
Unfortunately, the funding we'll be receiving starting next year guarantees us that, for all of Canada, there will be $125 million over the next three years to build affordable housing. FRAPRU has checked. That means that Quebec will be entitled to $29 million. That represents subsidies for 413 housing units under Quebec's AccèsLogis program. With 413 units, we can't even meet half the needs of the people of Laval. But we're going to subsidize 413 units for all of Quebec
In the meantime, an F-35 would represent 3,500 social housing units. Something's not right.
