Mr. Speaker, Canadians elect MPs to represent their communities in Ottawa, not to serve the party leaders' interests, but the Conservative leader does not seem to care. After more than 18 Conservative MPs advocated for the housing accelerator fund to support their communities, the opposition leader imposed gag orders, silencing his MPs from pushing for federal funding because he wants to slash housing initiatives across the country.
Surrey residents cannot afford the Conservative leader's reckless plan to cut our $95-million agreement, which would unlock 16,500 new homes over the next decade. It is time for Conservative MPs to stand up to their leader and fight his cuts to their communities so we can solve the housing crisis.
