Rosemarie Falk Conservative Battlefords—Lloydminster, SK

Thank you very much, Chair.

I think it's imperative that we meet this summer. We've heard very compelling testimony, especially in the middle of this housing crisis, and we need to continue to do this work. We know this committee is very vast, and we have multiple ministers who answer for this.

The seriousness of this housing crisis that we're in was raised in the last meeting by MP Long, so I think it's imperative that we continue to meet throughout the summer.

Michelle Ferreri Conservative Peterborough—Kawartha, ON

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to my colleague, Tracy Gray, for bringing forward this motion.

I think the motion is critical, and I hope we have NDP support for it, because they have proclaimed themselves to be the worker bees of Parliament multiple times.
