Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance talks about what poverty has to do with homelessness. To be poor means people cannot afford housing.
The member does not have to go far because he works for the minister responsible for the task force report he produced back in 1990. At that time the finance minister promised to make affordable housing accessible to all Canadians. That was part of the task force of 1990.
I do not know what the parliamentary secretary is talking about. Before he refers to me he should refer to the finance minister in that regard.
