Madam Speaker, my colleague touched on the issue of housing. Quebec is currently in the grips of a vicious, chronic housing crisis. Rent in Montreal is very high. It is hard to find housing for less than $1,000 a month. For families with more than two or three children, there is practically nothing available.
In Saint-Hyacinthe and Granby, the vacancy rates are 0.3% and 0.2%. It is outrageous.
Does my colleague not think it is high time for the government to invest heavily in social housing to help the people most affected by this housing crisis?
