Mr. Speaker, the lowest-income Canadians are already making cuts and living under austerity. This is what a single mother wrote in Le Devoir: “I still do not have enough money to buy a home and I feel like that dream is getting further and further away from me, because the crisis keeps getting worse, home prices keep going up and everything is becoming very expensive.”
When I was the minister responsible for housing, it cost $700 a month to rent an apartment in Montreal.
Is it not time to allow Quebeckers to elect a government that will build housing?
