What programs are you referring to, Minister?
From what I understand, this GST exemption will not support the construction of affordable housing. Earlier, you talked about a bottleneck for builders. I completely understand that. It’s a pharaonic undertaking. Of course, we have to find a way of calling on the private sector to help us.
However, it’s your responsibility to house everyone in society, not just those who can afford a $2,000-a-month home in Montreal. You must also take care of people who only have $600, $700 or $800 to spend on rent.
What program are you going to use to build housing for them?
