Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' own housing adviser said this morning that the Liberals' photo op fund, the so-called housing accelerator fund, is either pointless or ineffective. The government has spent billions of dollars. In fact, housing starts are down in Canada's two largest cities. It is down 20% in both Vancouver and Toronto.
Under the NDP-Liberal government, housing costs have doubled. They are rising faster than any other G7 country. This is a made-in-Canada issue. In 2015, it took 39% of the average Canadian's income to cover home ownership costs, and now it is 60%. Conservatives would axe the federal tax on new homes over $1 million.
Will the government listen and stop—
