Hopefully the minister will acknowledge that we're in a housing crisis based on information he is getting.
I just want to tag on to that. You were mentioning encampments. I know that even in my riding of Kelowna—Lake Country, it's something we're seeing more of. Public safety, as well as what's happening, is a big concern right across the country. Thank you for bringing that up. I appreciate that.
One of the other things I wanted to ask you was.... The Liberals have been championing their latest program. It's the so-called first home savings account. It's a tool for solving the gap in home ownership for first-time homebuyers, yet many Canadians already can't afford a home and are struggling just to make ends meet, to pay for rent and to afford groceries, let alone save money for a down payment on a home.
Do you believe this savings account will actually make a difference for first-time homebuyers?
