Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Conservatives can play these games all night if they wish. Different local municipalities have different timelines for permits.

Business of Supply  I have news to break to them, we have been doing this since the beginning of the national housing strategy in 2017. Conservatives have just come around to the idea now. Even then, the idea is a very half-baked plan.

Business of Supply  Chair, I think the hon. member is absolutely on brand in attacking civil servants, which is what the Conservatives did when they were in government for almost nine years. I am not going to take that bait. The hon. member knows or should know that no minister of the Crown has ever made a determination on the employee compensation by an independent Crown corporation.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, if they care about housing affordability, why did the Conservatives vote against the first-time homebuyer incentive?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, why did the Conservatives vote against supports for homebuyers?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, if the Conservatives are serious about rental supports, why did they vote against the Canada housing benefit, which is delivering real supports to Canadian renters?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, the Conservatives have all the questions tonight, but they have no plan on housing, and they have no help for Canadians who actually need help with housing.

Business of Supply  Chair, we know that one of the solutions to higher housing prices is more supply. We brought in measures to create more supply. The Conservatives voted against it.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, do the Conservatives have a plan for housing, or do they just have rhetoric and buzzwords?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, the Conservatives do not have a plan. All they have is gimmicks and buzzwords.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I do want to speak about housing. The problem is the Conservatives have no plan, and they stand here, pretending to care about Canadians and getting help to them, but they vote against all the measures we bring to this House.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, it is very perplexing. Conservatives talk about, for example, connecting housing to infrastructure. We have been doing that for two years. They talk about investing in municipalities and removing the obstacles to more supply.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, if the Conservatives want to be taken seriously on the issue of rent, they should stop blocking rental supports to Canadians.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, what I do know is that the Conservative Party, when in power, did nothing to help Canadian renters. We introduced the Canada housing benefit, which is helping renters.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, it would be interesting to know how the Conservatives plan to build more rentals with less money and less investment in housing.
