Mr. Speaker, we do miss the member on the government operations committee. He is welcome to come back anytime.
He talked about how the plan has support for affordable housing, but the Parliamentary Budget Officer states that, with all the billions of dollars in spending, the government is expected to build only 13,000 low-income units, and that, further, the money would come from stripping money from the affordable housing fund and other supports for at-risk Canadians.
Why would the government punishing vulnerable Canadians and spend money on an added bureaucracy that would create only 13,000 new homes?
