As the saying goes, Mr. Speaker, we are rubber and he is glue.
The housing crisis is at an all-time high, and the Liberals are to blame. The Parliamentary Budget Officer calculated that rents have increased by 26% solely because of the federal government's excessively lax immigration policies. People across the country, including immigrants themselves, are paying 26% more in rent because of the Liberals.
To fix this debacle, the rapid housing initiative needs to be extended and made permanent, and Quebec's share must be transferred unconditionally. That is the bare minimum.
Why are the Liberals so unwilling to include this in the budget that they are threatening to call an election?
