Mr. Speaker, on his first day in office, the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure told Canadians that housing prices do not need to come down. He claims that the housing market is stable. However, in Beauce, the vacancy rate is less than 2% in a number of towns and cities. Rent for a new two-bedroom apartment has jumped by more than 50% just since 2021.
The measures announced by the current government are not enough. Young Canadians deserve to buy their own homes.
When will the government cut the red tape and come up with real solutions to the housing crisis?
