Madam Speaker, here is yesterday's reality, today's reality and, unfortunately, likely tomorrow's reality: Canada is the only G7 country, and in fact the only G20 country, that is in a recession.
Take the issue of housing. We have hyperinflation that continues to have a devastating impact on our young people. The dream of home ownership is drifting out of reach for young people, and one in three families will not be able to make all their mortgage payments this year. That is the reality.
Can the minister acknowledge that?
