Mr. Speaker, with help from the Liberals and private investors, the Norgate apartments purchase has gone through. It is the biggest housing purchase in Quebec this year. Given the raging housing crisis, this news has a lot of people worried, because the Liberal government has turned its back on them.
Montrealers cannot afford the rents they are paying now. Instead of lining the pockets of private investors, the Liberals could have ensured that those apartments remained truly affordable.
Why put the interests of private investors ahead of the interests of Montrealers?
