Mr. Speaker, access to emergency or permanent housing is essential for women who want to escape violence. Every year, 100,000 women and children are forced out of their homes. Affordable housing is critical. Yet Canada is the only G8 country that still does not have a national housing strategy.
Will the government finally develop a housing strategy to guarantee women who are trying to escape violence a safe place to live?
The NDP has a bill to this effect. Will the Conservatives support it?
