Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague has asked when the Liberal government is going to start investing in housing for low-income families. “Right after we formed government in 2015” is the answer to her question.
We have been putting forward a national housing strategy, backed by $82 billion in investment, that is providing thousands upon thousands of homes for low-income families. However, I would point out that the path going forward involves a mix of investments that will support homes for low-income families and for middle-class families. As a result of the removal of the GST on the construction of new apartments, we are seeing developers announce new projects. There are some that have announced 5,000, 3,000 or 1,000. This is going to put a roof over the heads of hundreds of thousands of Canadians.
