Mr. Speaker, one little-known aspect of the housing crisis is that it is having a direct impact on the birth rate.
An article published today in La Presse clearly documents the unfortunate situation of couples who are putting off having kids until they can purchase a home. Louis-Philippe Beaulieu explained the situation clearly, saying he did not want his kids to have any less than he himself had received. That is exactly what the Canadian dream is all about, but unfortunately, it was shattered 10 years ago when this Liberal government came to power.
Why will the government not adopt our proposal to eliminate the GST on new construction?
