Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Minister of Housing and Infrastructure is saying that housing prices do not need to come down. That comes as no surprise from a person sitting on a $10-million real estate fortune. He owns a $3‑million estate in Tofino, a $5.6‑million home in Squamish and a luxury penthouse in Vancouver.
Meanwhile, in Quebec, young people are stuck living in their parents' basements, unable to buy or sell. Why is the minister looking down at young Quebeckers from his Vancouver penthouse and telling them that housing prices do not need to come down?
