Mr. Speaker, the Canadian dream of home ownership is fading for too many young Canadians. Despite lots of announcements, the actual results from the Liberal housing plan are downright depressing. Home ownership among 30- to 34-year-olds has fallen to 52%, and new home sales are down 45% in the GTA and 56% in Vancouver. In fact, the government's own housing agency is predicting that new home starts will fall, not increase, by more than 18% for the next three years.
It is clear that more bureaucracy is not the answer. When will the government adopt the Conservative plan to kick-start homebuilding by removing the GST on all new homes and restore the dream of home ownership for young Canadians?
