Mr. Speaker, after nine years, the NDP-Liberals are not worth the cost of housing. Rent has doubled. Housing prices have doubled. We used to pay off our mortgage in 25 years. It now takes 25 years to save for the down payment.
Thankfully, Conservatives have a plan. We will axe the GST on new homes. On an $800,000-house, this will save $40,000. This tax cut will spark 30,000 additional homes' being built every single year. The Canadian Home Builders' Association said, “today's announcement by the Conservative Party of Canada...will make a big difference”. The West End Home Builders Association said, “removing the GST for new homes under $1 million may be the most significant housing policy commitment in the past two decades”.
NDP-Liberals puff up with fake pride with every fake photo op they have on housing. Common-sense Conservatives will get the houses built for all Canadians.
