Mr. Speaker, affordable housing dollars should go toward building truly affordable homes, yet that is not the case most of the time. It is all because CMHC does not use any affordability criteria for the majority of units it funds. Even when it does, it rarely use its own definition of affordable housing.
It is why I have introduced a motion that follows the calls of housing experts like Dr. Carolyn Whitzman to require income-based definitions across all affordable housing programs.
Will the minister listen to these experts and take up this important call?
