Mr. Speaker, less taxes, more homes; the Conservative leader is proposing to eliminate the GST on new homes sold. What this means is that buyers in Quebec will save $25,000, or $1,300 a year, on a $500,000 home. This will also add 30,000 new housing units a year in Canada. The Corporation des propriétaires immobiliers du Québec, the Quebec landlords' association, has described this initiative as a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, we know that housing prices have doubled over the past nine years because of this Liberal government's inflationary policies, enthusiastically supported by the Bloc Québécois and its leader. He voted twice just recently confirming his confidence in the Liberal Prime Minister. The Bloc Québécois leader spent a month trying to convince people that he was going to get more for Quebec. He got nothing, zero. Here is the Bloc Québécois leader's actual record: zero gains for Quebec, but two votes for Justin. An election to vote in a good government cannot come soon enough. I look forward to a Conservative government.
