Mr. Speaker, as a follow-up, I would like to ask the parliamentary secretary if he could tell me if he has any information or any statistics on this mythical unicorn of a first-time homebuyer who is spending $1 million to get $50,000 off their taxes.
I have never actually seen a first-time homebuyer buy a brand new home. This GST that you are supposedly giving back to them is only for their very first home, on a brand new home. People in my riding cannot afford a $1-million home the first time they are buying a home. They are never going to get this $50,000, which you said was an average but have said before is actually the maximum.
I am just wondering if you have any actual statistics to show that there are people buying new homes as their first home.
