Mr. Speaker, if saying “generational” again and again built homes, we would not be here tonight having this discussion, but we know it does not build homes. In fact, we know the next generation is having the most difficult time in history owning a home.
The parliamentary secretary said she did not want the next generation priced out of the market. Well, here is a news flash: They are priced out of the market. The average salary in Canada no longer buys the average home in Canada. Young Canadians just want the same opportunity their parents and their grandparents had: to work hard and have the opportunity to buy a home.
Does the parliamentary secretary agree with me that the average salary in Canada should buy the average home in Canada? Will she admit that 10 years of Liberal proposals have done nothing to make that better?
