It was $452,000. In case you were wondering, today it's $750,000. That is with this housing plan that was supposed to be life-changing. That's maybe not the change I think the Prime Minister was hoping for at the time.
I guess it begs the question that, when eight years ago your government took office, there were challenges and problems in the housing space. They may have been unique to certain parts of the country. They were more acute in some areas than in others. A couple of years later, it was determined that we needed a life-changing plan. The change that we have today is that house prices have doubled. Rents have doubled. Vacancy rates hover around 1% or lower across most of the country, and homelessness is on the rise.
Now we have a new minister. You've come out swinging. Would you describe the things you're announcing today, the new programs we're hearing your government talk about—you had a housing retreat on the east coast and another little session in London, and you've announced that you're going to do some really big things—as life-changing, transformational housing plans?
