Mr. Speaker, if the government believes that is a national housing strategy then that is pathetic.
Everyone is calling for a national housing strategy: the Canadian Federation of Municipalities, the Toronto Board of Trade, national housing groups and even 85% of Canadians in a recent Maclean's poll.
People are really sick to death of the piecemeal announcements that we have been hearing. It is really an insult to the gravity of the problem.
I ask again: When will the government get the picture, move beyond crisis management and implement a national housing supply program and a national program that will actually build affordable housing for Canadians?
