Mr. Speaker, he said “Affordability is the best it has been in over a decade.” A decade ago, the average one-bedroom rent was $970. Today, it is $1,850. It has doubled. Incomes have not doubled.
The young people who cannot afford that rent know that he is wrong. The seniors choosing between eating and heating know that he is wrong. The Canadians paying 70% more for beef know that he is wrong.
Will he stop quoting international bankers, realize that Canadians have never paid more and admit he was wrong?
