Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the hon. member is absolutely right. Canadians with disabilities are one of the priority groups in the national housing strategy. That means that the national housing strategy prioritizes investments in affordable housing to deliver permanent housing and transitional housing to adults with developmental disabilities, as well as wraparound services and supports.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I have never heard members from the party opposite bring homelessness up in question period. This is the first time they have done that. I want to congratulate them for finally coming around to prioritizing homelessness. Unfortunately, when it came time to actually do something about it, they voted against doubling investments to help people experiencing homelessness.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we have prevented 62,000 people from joining homelessness and we have diverted 32,000 people away from homelessness into permanent housing. That is our track record and we will continue to invest more to prevent and solve homelessness in Canada.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I wish the hon. member used his advocacy skills within his caucus because their so-called housing plan does not even have the word “homelessness” in it. How can we take this party seriously on homelessness when it is not even mentioned in its plan?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we believe in the right to housing; they do not.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, every single individual experiencing homelessness is a tragedy for our community, but we are investing more than any government.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the proof is in the votes. If the hon. member and her party cared about homelessness, then why did they vote against increasing investments?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, this is pretty rich. On the point in time counts she is referring to, she voted against investments to increase point in time counts and coordinated access across this country. She voted against expanding more help for vulnerable people experiencing homelessness. It is very—

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, she should start her advocacy within her own caucus, because this is the first time I am hearing them raise issues about homelessness. It is the first time in seven years.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I want to congratulate the party opposite for finally coming around to talking about homelessness. For seven years, I have never seen its members make a statement, ask a question or intervene positively to help people experiencing homelessness.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the member made an S.O. 31, but when it came time to actually doubling investments to help people experiencing homelessness, including in Peterborough, she voted against it. It is pretty rich and hypocritical for her to talk about homelessness now and pretend they are the ones with a plan.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I know the answer. The party opposite spent a meagre $250 million on housing—

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, does the hon. member believe that every Canadian has the right to housing? None of the Conservatives have said that Canadians have a right to housing.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, 82,000 homes is not accurate. I have told this House that our national housing strategy has resulted in half a million homes repaired or built in this country.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Conservatives do not believe in Canadians' right to housing. They believe the federal government should cut investments in housing, yet they want more housing supply. How does that make sense?
