Mr. Speaker, my colleague spoke a lot about the housing crisis and about the people in her riding.
Yesterday, the NDP and the government announced measures that will cost $6 billion. The government is going to send a cheque for $250 to people who earn up to $150,000 a year, which seems completely unhinged to me. Combined with the GST measure, all this is going to cost $6 billion. The Bloc Québécois asked the government to increase old age security for seniors aged 65 to 74, which would have cost $3 billion. Now the government is throwing $6 billion around.
Does my colleague not think that that money would have been better spent on building social housing units, which are sorely needed in this country?
