Mr. Speaker, only the New Democratic Party would consider a $1-billion investment in rapid housing to be “insignificant.”
We are proud of our response to the most vulnerable in this country. The $1-billion rapid housing initiative will build new housing and convert existing buildings to house the most vulnerable in our communities; $237 million for the reaching home program will go directly to communities as they respond to the needs of the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic.
