Mr. Speaker, Liberals are just like atoms: They make up everything. More Canadians than ever are watching the dream of home ownership slip further out of reach, but the housing minister is not focused on solving the housing crisis because he is profiting from it. The average home in Canada now costs $680,000; it is $1.2 million in Vancouver.
Rents and mortgages have doubled, and housing starts are down, so why is the minister more interested in protecting his real estate empire than ensuring Canadians can afford a home?
