Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question and for his concern for the rising cost of rent, which I completely agree is a very serious issue. Where we differ is that we are not satisfied with just launching complaints on the floor of the House of Commons.
We want to advance policies that would put solutions on the table to make a meaningful difference for families. That is why we are putting measures in place, such as cutting taxes on apartment construction, to help build more homes. It is also why we are increasing investments to build more affordable housing and why we put a renters' bill of rights on the table to help protect renters in precarious situations. I only wish the NDP would care enough to join us in trying to do something about the problem.
