Mr. Speaker, the government is turning a deaf ear not only to the provinces, but also to municipalities.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Union des municipalités du Québec and the mayor of Montreal have all denounced the budget's silence on social housing. There is no specific commitment or long-term plan. Worse still, cuts of $1.5 billion are expected over the next five years.
Will the minister review his plans and work with the municipalities to find solutions to the crisis affecting thousands of families?
