Mr. Speaker, I would not presume to second guess what might or might not be in the budget on Tuesday afternoon. I will be here waiting with bated breath as will my colleagues opposite.
As the former chair of the executive committee of a municipal non-profit housing corporation, I very much appreciate the value of social housing across this country. I am very well aware of the billions of dollars that the federal government continues to invest in social housing.
I am also very well aware that we reinvested significantly in the RRAP which allows people on very low incomes to improve their housing situation. There is no question right now we are all extremely concerned about this. I am counting on the federal government to take a major role in alleviating that.
