Mr. Speaker, here is what real people are facing, as described in a message from Matis, a young Quebecker who wrote to me this week:
I just wanted to tell you that many of my generation are starting to lose faith in the idea that we will ever become homeowners. Housing prices, rents, and the cost of living are rising so fast that I feel like I am chasing something unattainable. We are not out to get rich. We just want to be able to live with dignity after working hard. We want to build a future without constant financial stress.
We are in a full-blown recession. The Liberals' economic plan is not working. When are they going to give young people a little hope? When will they stop governing for the bankers and start governing for the people?
