Mr. Speaker, the latest data show that one in five Quebec renters has a hard time paying rent. This is a particularly harsh reality for couples in their working and child-rearing years. In the regions, municipalities are trying to do their part. Baie-Saint-Paul cut certain municipal taxes to help keep rent increases low. La Malbaie cut municipal spending to protect people's ability to pay.
Will the Liberal government finally acknowledge that its policies over the past 10 years have hurt purchasing power and fuelled inflation?
Will the government choose wisely and work with the Conservatives to implement a real plan to make life more affordable?
