Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to double housing starts, but instead, they are actually down 16%.
This should come as no surprise. The Prime Minister's entourage includes the former mayor of Vancouver, who saw housing prices increase by 150%, and a former Toronto city councillor, who raised taxes on residential construction by 700%.
Does the Prime Minister realize that it is not surprising that construction is down and costs are up, considering the so-called leaders in his closest circle?
