Mr. Speaker, wow. Is this guy ever out of touch. He better take a drive 25 minutes from here to a community called Riverside South, where a working-class family recently reported it was outbid nine times when trying to buy a house, the last time by $400,000 over asking price. Working-class people cannot find a place to live, and he says the government will send them a $2,000 cheque, for a $400,000 bid over asking price on a home.
People cannot find places to live. They cannot afford food. Why is the government hitting the most vulnerable with an inflation tax right in the middle of a crisis?
