Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this NDP-Liberal government, it is clear the Prime Minister is not worth the cost of housing.
He created housing hell by doubling rents, mortgage payments and the needed down payment, and as housing prices skyrocket, the greedy federal government rakes in the cash. The Prime Minister now collects more in taxes on the sale of a new home than the carpenter or electrician who actually builds the house. The solution is our common-sense plan to axe the federal sales tax on new homes. On an $800,000 home, this would save a homebuyer $40,000, so why not provide some much-needed relief and axe the tax off new homes?
