Mr. Speaker, social housing in this country is at risk. Tenants in social housing are faced with unprecedented threats from the federal government. In Canada, 1,200,000 households urgently need accommodation. However, the Liberal government has made cuts in social housing, leaving the neediest and tenants in sub-standard housing to fend for themselves. This government is spreading confusion and despair.
The Liberal government's failure to act and its withdrawal from social housing, as well as the planned 20 per cent increase in rental fees, will have serious consequences for low-income families. This Liberal government is even worse than the previous government. It is oblivious to poverty.
