Madam Speaker, the member opposite should just take a look outside. There are 258 tent encampments in Toronto alone, 50 that are new this summer, and that is a direct result of the punishing costs of the carbon tax and a housing plan that has doubled the cost of housing right across the country. We have been very clear that we are going to force municipalities to approve more housing and, if they do not, we will penalize them. We are going to reduce carbon taxes so that the costs of the building materials can be lower. Those are the real solutions. Instead of supporting this government blindly, he should open his eyes and look at all the tent encampments in his own riding.
In the House of Commons on September 24th, 2024. See this statement in context.
