Mr. Speaker, I did not have enough time during my speech to adequately describe how expensive housing is for households. Households that spend more than 30% of their income on housing are poor and vulnerable. Do members know how many households are currently in this predicament? The answer is 1.6 million Canadian households, including 373,000 Quebec households.
Yesterday, the Front d'action populaire en réaménagement urbain, or FRAPRU, sent a letter to the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. One of the things FRAPRU called for in its letter was to restrict affordable housing funding to the non-profit sector. We should use our non-profits to build truly affordable housing. This would require a review of the rules and the Liberal housing strategy that has failed to produce results in recent years.
