Mr. Speaker, forgive me if I am a bit skeptical of the housing minister, who increased the price of housing by 179% in just eight years in Vancouver.
The Liberals broke housing. They fuelled inflation, which drove up rates. They rewarded those who blocked housing construction. They supercharged immigration numbers, which outpaced the availability of housing.
The housing minister says we need affordable housing, which is great, but then he turns around and says that home prices should not go down. Both of these things cannot be true, so which one is it?
