Mr. Speaker, I will start by thanking the member for Scarborough Centre for her hard work on behalf of all seniors.
This government believes that all Canadians need and deserve housing that is safe, affordable, and secure. To give Canadians greater access to affordable housing, last year's budget invested a record $2.3 billion in assisting affordable housing, particularly the needs of seniors. This funding is expected to benefit more than 5,000 seniors across Canada.
I will also take this opportunity to welcome our new cohort of pages and say that we look forward to working with them over the next few months.
