Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, CMHC cites inflation and high interest rates as the main reason why housing starts are so slow. We know those have both gotten worse because of out-of-control Liberal spending. Again, how did this minister fail so badly and so expensively?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, for newcomers who are thinking of leaving Canada, their number-one reason is the high cost of living. Canada does not have enough housing supply. The minister cannot answer why his plan has failed so badly. Why is the minister failing newcomers so badly and so expensively?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, can the housing minister just tell us the number? How many are there?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, can the minister tell us how many rental units the national housing strategy has made available for Canadians and newcomers? I just want a number.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, can the minister tell us what the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Calgary is? How much is it?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, for the record, it is $1,607 a month. Calgary had the fastest-growing average one-bedroom rent in the country at almost 50%. Is this what the Prime Minister talked about when he said he was going to make homes more affordable?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, we will always vote against any failed policies by the government that double the rent, double mortgages and double the amount it costs to save up for a down payment. This is the same minister who committed $90 billion to a housing plan and gave Canadians double rent, double cost on mortgages and double the cost to save up for a down payment.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, how many units did his $90 billion make for Canadians?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, the website says it has created or committed 118,000. Can the minister tell us how many were actually created, though?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, how many units were created out of the $90 billion that the minister committed to housing?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, Canada built fewer homes last year than the year before. Now, CMHC predicts it will fall by another 32% this year. How did the housing minister fail so badly, so expensively and let this happen?

Finance  Mr. Speaker, the most historic transformation is going to be when the Conservatives replace the current incompetent government. My question is for the finance minister, who refuses to show up at the finance committee for two hours to answer basic questions about her failed budget.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, if I were the finance minister, I would be embarrassed to answer for two hours as well. She misled Canadians and said that she did not want to add fuel to inflation. She then threw a $43-billion inflationary jerry can on the inflationary fire that she created in the first place.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, the finance minister refuses to appear at the finance committee to answer basic questions for two hours about her failed budget. She spent more time in a round-trip flight between Toronto and Ottawa than she did in the finance committee in the last year. Her failed budget added an extra $4,200 cost on struggling households with the $43-billion Liberal budget bonanza.
