Mr. Speaker, I think the short answer is that this bill does very little, if anything, to address the homelessness issue in this country. It does give some targeted relief to someone who can afford to buy a home up to $1.5 million, but that is not going to address the tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of Canadians who are living homeless or couch surfing across this country, especially young people. I think one of the primary goals of this Parliament, from all sides of the House, should be to tackle the housing crisis.
It is unacceptable, in a G7 country, that Canadians would not have a dignified, secure, affordable place to call home. To me, that is a promise of this country. Every Canadian should have access to that. We should address that issue with everything we have in this House.
