Mr. Speaker, I would like to quote Ms. Farha, who said the following at the launch of the national housing strategy on November 22:
What makes this a truly historic moment is the government’s acknowledgement that housing is a human right and its intention to recognize this through a rights-based housing strategy as well as in legislation
This was a historic moment. We are going to build history in the next 10 years, while taking hundreds of thousands of Canadians out of housing need.
