Mr. Speaker, I inform the House that the minister responsible for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is announcing that October is renovation month.
This occasion is the perfect opportunity to showcase innovative techniques and celebrate the professionalism of the home renovation industry in Canada. This industry generates $20 billion and thousands of jobs each year. We also want to ensure if Canadians decide to renovate their homes that they are successful.
This year the Canadian Home Builders' Association and CMHC will feature Canada-wide activities focusing on consumer education and protection under the theme: do it right, work with a professional renovator.
I also point out that CMHC Canadian housing information centre, the largest housing resource centre in the country, has extensive resources available to assist homeowners and renovators with their renovating needs.
