Mr. Speaker, my question is to the minister responsible for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
After underfunding social housing in Quebec for the last seven years, the federal government now intends to withdraw from this area.
Since 1987, Quebec has never received more than 19 per cent of CMHC funding. For Quebec, the annual shortfall averages out to $122 million, for a total in excess of $854 million.
Can the minister tell us if she intends to compensate for this withdrawal by transferring tax points, at least in the case of Quebec, which already assumes its responsibilities with respect to social housing?
