Mr. Speaker, a resident pleaded with me, “My family and I are struggling with rent costs and the price of food.”
They are not alone. A CTV News article tells us that 35,000 families are fleeing the GTA because staying in the GTA means living on the edge financially, with very little room to grow. Families are being uprooted, with generations torn apart. Canadians are forced to leave the very communities that they grew up in. Increasing the industrial carbon tax increases the cost of cement, steel and all the materials that go into building homes.
Why is the Liberal government increasing the industrial carbon tax and making housing even more expensive?
