Housing  Mr. Speaker, since the adoption of the national housing strategy, hundreds of thousands of homes have been constructed or renovated to support Canadians who need help. There are millions of Canadians who have benefited directly from government supports to ensure that they could k

Housing  Mr. Speaker, we understand well the challenges that young people in this country are facing when it comes to finding a place to live that they can actually afford. That is why, just yesterday, we advanced a new policy that is going to make low-cost loans available to build more

Housing  Mr. Speaker, with respect, my hon. colleague is simply trying to prey on the very real anxiety that families are feeling across this country. At the same time, she advances a plan that will build fewer homes than we are already on track to build. We have removed the GST from hom

Housing  Mr. Speaker, for years, the Conservative approach to policies that would actually help people was to prey on their anxieties rather than to advance ideas that would actually address them. The member is supporting her leader's plan, which is going to build fewer homes than we are

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, we can welcome newcomers and build housing at the same time. That is why we negotiated a $1.8-billion contribution agreement with la belle province to build 23,000 housing units and 8,000 affordable housing units. We are going to continue to work with our partners i

Housing  Mr. Speaker, it is extraordinary that an anglophone from Nova Scotia has to stand in the House of Commons and explain that it is the federal government that must enter into agreements with the provinces, not the municipalities. This is important in Quebec. We continue to make in

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague for his work not just to secure $35.9 million for the City of Richmond but also for the thousands of homes that will be built as a result of the changes we are incentivizing. We are putting federal money on the table to permanently

Housing  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting that the Leader of the Opposition's solution is to say that mayors are incompetent. That is inappropriate under the circumstances. We are investing to build affordable housing in la belle province. For example, we signed an agreement with Quebec to

Housing  Mr. Speaker, the opposition seems interested in drawing on the anxieties that people are experiencing, which are very real, when it comes to housing affordability in this country. However, when we actually look at the plan the Conservatives are putting forward, it is clear they

Housing  Mr. Speaker, what the Conservatives dismiss as photo ops are binding agreements with cities that have led them to already change their rules to get more homes built. What they dismiss as press conferences included a new measure this morning that is going to extend low-cost loans

Housing  Mr. Speaker, we have a plan to build houses. In fact, we have a plan to build houses in real communities. Let us take the hon. member's constituency as an example. She represents the good people of Kelowna. Not only have we put programs in place that supported affordable housin

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his advocacy to continue to invest in affordable housing, including co-operative housing. I would point him to the recent fall economic statement, which increased grant funding to co-operative housing by more than $300 million, and we wi

Housing  Mr. Speaker, we know from the course of our history that we have to make investments if we are going to solve the national housing crisis, but with the Conservative position to cut everything, Canadians are right to ask what it is they are going to cut. Thankfully, they put on a

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her advocacy for additional investments in affordable housing and housing more broadly. I would remind my hon. colleague that, in fact, there are programs that exist today that are rolling dollars out the door to get more homes built. In

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to see the opposition leader run from the uncomfortable questions that are being put to him on the floor of the House of Commons. Let us look at some of the voting record that the Conservatives demonstrated last week when it comes to saving people
