Madam Speaker, yesterday my colleague from Drummond read page 74 of the 2024 Budget to the minister. The title of that section is “Halal Mortgages”.
The minister replied that her government just wants to see if there is something that needs to be done. She said it is a private initiative, not a government program. In short, there is some unease.
If they do not know what direction they are taking with Halal mortgages, if it is not a government responsibility and if they want to create a framework for this measure rather than expand it, why is it included in budget?
