Mr. Speaker, I am disappointed in the Conservative approach, which has been consistent since the days when the leader of the Conservative Party was the minister responsible for housing in Canada, and he did virtually nothing. The record would likely show that he was the biggest disaster when it comes to housing in Canada. It may even be part of why we are in this situation today, and nothing has changed. The far right of the Conservative Party says, “Get out of the way. The Government of Canada has no role to play in housing.”
Does the member not recognize that provinces, territories, municipalities, indigenous communities and many other stakeholders want the national government to be more proactive on housing? Why is the Conservative Party so far to the right in ignoring the needs of Canadians?
