Mr. Speaker, the issue of housing affordability is a major concern for all Canadians.
I am pleased to inform the House that members of the Canadian Home Builders Association are on the Hill today meeting with parliamentarians to see just how we can work better together to help people across Canada realize their dream of home ownership.
The CHBA has more than 8,000 member firms across the country. It is an industry that represents 1.2 million jobs and generates over $150 billion in economic activity.
Home ownership is a key hallmark of the middle class and those working hard to join it. I encourage all MPs to support measures that will help unlock the door to home ownership.
