Madam Speaker, I rise today to discuss the significant investments Liberals are making in housing across Canada, particularly in northern regions like Labrador. Recently I announced over $10 million for 33 new homes in the community of Sheshatshiu. I continue to work with its chief and band council to address its ever-pressing housing needs.
Over the last decade, we have invested more than $100 million in housing in the Nunatsiavut region in the northern part of my ride, resulting in new homes, including triplexes, in communities like Nain and Hopedale for those people who were housing insecure.
We have also added 20 new units for women fleeing violence and for low-income families in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. In Labrador West we have upgraded more than 20 new units under Newfoundland and Labrador housing, and constructed additional units.
While the Conservatives slashed housing budgets and did not respond to the needs of families, and continue to vote down the Liberals' investments, we continue to work hard—
