Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I am finding this evening a bit difficult. It is an important evening. As I said earlier, housing is a very serious issue. It is one of three serious crises that we are experiencing in Canada right now. There is the climate crisis, the language crisis and the housing crisis.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I still do not know the address of the projects she is talking about. She named three projects that cost $6 billion. I do not think the projects she told me about are worth $6 billion; otherwise, those are some expensive doors. I want to see more projects. In fact, I would like to know—if not tonight, tomorrow—what projects actually have people living in them that were built with the $6 billion she is talking about.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, let us move on to a related question. Let us talk about the budget we just saw. The government is sending billions of dollars to oil companies to do some greenwashing, which is outrageous. They send billions of dollars for carbon capture, which does not work. I am talking about billions of dollars sent to companies that made a whopping $200 billion in profits in 2022.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I just want to know where the $40 billion was spent. Give me the number of housing units where people were able to unlock the door with a key. In regard to this $40-billion investment in Quebec that my colleague spoke about, I want someone to tell me where are the doors.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, she just spoke about $40 billion. The projects she mentioned add up to perhaps a few million dollars. Where is the $40 billion she spoke about?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, at least we got an answer. I have another question for the minister. We learned today that the Trans Mountain pipeline will cost $30 billion. I weep to see that. To make matters worse, this is coming from a government that said it would not invest another penny in fossil fuels.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I was in Montreal today for an event organized by the United Way of Greater Montreal. All the community housing organizations in the greater Montreal area were there, along with advocates for housing assistance and assistance for families, victims of domestic violence and people with disabilities.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I repeat my question: How many social housing units have been built in Quebec since the national housing strategy was launched?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, it looks like I am not going to get an answer. Housing organizations across Quebec and Canada are proposing a solution because everyone realizes that the national housing strategy is not working. British Columbia has launched a $500-million acquisition fund. This is a massive issue right now, and I know that the minister and the parliamentary secretary are aware of that.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, the rapid housing initiative is an interesting program. Has the minister, the parliamentary secretary or anyone in government given any serious thought to taking all the money in the national strategy, for example, the co-investment fund and the housing accelerator fund, which have billions of dollars in them but are not very effective, and putting all that money into the rapid housing initiative?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I did not understand the answer. Does that mean half a million social housing units were built in Quebec?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I must admit that I am a bit surprised by the rhythm of the conversation this evening, by this sort of rallying back and forth, and I am not sure we have really gotten any answers to our questions. Nevertheless, this is a very serious issue. We have an opportunity, this evening, to discuss with the minister, the person responsible for housing, something very serious that is happening in Quebec and Canada, namely, a severe housing crisis.

Fatima-Zahra Hafdi  Mr. Speaker, I am so proud to rise today to recognize a young artist from Quebec who is competing in the biggest song contest in the world, Eurovision. The final is this Saturday and will be watched by more than 200 million people. Fatima-Zahra Hafdi, who goes by La Zarra, was born in Montreal and grew up in Longueuil.

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I mentioned earlier that I think this is a really important debate. The situation is quite serious. There was an article in the Journal de Montréal a few weeks ago about the election of a city councillor in Brossard who may have been assisted by individuals working for the Chinese state.

Privilege  Madam Speaker, the debate on foreign interference is a strange one. It feels as though we are floating. It is as if we are all wearing rose-coloured glasses when it comes to Chinese interference, especially the government. This has been going on for months. An elected official in the House and his family were harassed by the Chinese state, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
