Mr. Speaker, the minister talks about the urgency of addressing a crisis that he and his government have created. Unfortunately, it is not just homeowners who are struggling. After eight years, housing prices have doubled and young adults have given up completely on their dream of home ownership. In Toronto, students are paying $1,500 a month for one bedroom, not a one-bedroom apartment but one individual bedroom within a shared apartment.
This is just one example of the housing crisis the government has caused, so I ask this again: When is it finally going to stop its out-of-control spending so that Canadians can afford a home?
