As we heard just now in question period, and as we're going to hear around this table this afternoon, all of us disagree about many things, but there are some things we agree on. One of those things is that every Canadian has the right to a place to call home.
A concern that many of us share, certainly a concern of our government, is that housing shouldn't become a speculative asset. Homes should be for Canadian families, so this anti-flipping tax is a measure that is designed to ensure precisely that.
I do have the chance to personally thank Mio and his team for the unprecedented, and I think very powerful, tax measures they have put in place to help Canadians afford a place to call home.
