Madam Speaker, in politics, it is never too late to take positive action.
We have adopted several good measures, including the family benefit for children and families. We have also helped Canadians with housing through other programs.
What we are putting in place today is aimed precisely at responding to the housing crisis. We know that when there is a housing crisis, investing in affordable housing has a domino effect. When we invest in affordable housing, other units become available. People who are a little better off will be able to afford slightly larger homes for their family. There are going to be more homeowners. The wheel keeps turning. We need to act quickly, now.
