Mr. Speaker, when I recently asked the Minister of Housing about the growing and persistent housing unaffordability crisis in Canada, he responded to say that it was not his fault, not the government's fault and not the Liberals' fault, despite their being in power for 10 years. Do members know whose fault he said it was? He said it was Iran's fault, the fault of the war in Iran, that houses are expensive in Canada.
My question to the parliamentary secretary is this: Is it the Government of Canada's position that the cause of the housing crisis in Canada is the war in Iran?
