Madam Speaker, my colleague mentioned the importance of municipalities several times.
I know that she worked at the municipal level. The government says that municipalities are very important, that they are close to the people and that we need to encourage them to build social housing units, for example. How is it then that the current Liberal government is dipping into property taxes, especially with its tax on new housing under foreign ownership?
Why is the Liberal government dipping into funds that should be used to build social housing? Is that not counterproductive?
