Mr. Speaker, I want to say something in connection with Build Canada Homes.
The program's implementation was somewhat chaotic. The government wanted to simply sweep away what was there, but in my home region of Abitibi—Témiscamingue, that could have had serious consequences. A women's shelter with confirmed funding was put on hold for months. The very survival of this project was hanging in the balance. What is more, when it was approved, we had to fight for it, I had to call on my colleagues, and we had to push for it.
There were so many contradictory responses from the minister's office and various other sources. Is all this confusion normal, considering women's safety could be jeopardized while we try to secure political will for Build Canada Homes? I have a lot of questions. Where are we headed with this?
