Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have finally admitted there is a housing crisis, and that is a good thing, but in the very same comments, they articulate that they believe their plan is working. They have been in government for the last 10 years, and it is because of their plan that we face this housing crisis across the country today.
I will remind members that when Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was housing minister, Conservatives built nearly 200,000 homes and the average rent was $973 for a one-bedroom apartment. Since then, housing costs have doubled, and Canadians are struggling to afford a home, as the Liberals have rightly pointed out. My question was very specific to the Liberals' promise to build 4,000 housing units by 2028 using surplus government properties. They are only on track to meet 12% of the promised 4,000 units.
Can the parliamentary secretary tell us when the government is going to keep its promise to get more homes to the market?
