Mr. Speaker, as usual, as the holidays draw near, when a Liberal minister or member rises in the House to boast about the Liberal record, we suddenly find ourselves in a fantasy world. It is as though they are talking about some perfect place where all manner of great things happened in recent years. Unfortunately, that is not the reality.
I would like the minister to address a very specific point. Something has been growing under the Liberal government in recent years: homeless tent cities throughout Quebec and Canada. I have seen them pop up in my riding, Longueuil—Saint-Hubert, and I imagine that every member in the House has also noticed tent cities popping up in their ridings. That is the reality.
However, the only Liberal program to fight homelessness is the reaching home program, which in recent years has been slashed by 3%. How can we allow the government to make a 3% cut to such an important program?
