Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Eliminating the GST will help stimulate housing construction, but that doesn't mean people will be able to pay rent on those units. There's an affordability problem. We need to build housing that the poorest people can afford. I think, right now, the middle and lower classes have a housing problem.

Why doesn't the GST break for builders come with an affordability requirement?
