Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for his comments. That is exactly what I heard this morning. People are pleased with the rapid housing initiative. They are also very pleased with the national housing co-investment fund. I think that what they want is to ensure that the money gets

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I would like to remind my colleague that since putting this national housing strategy in place, the federal government has provided $40 billion to Quebec.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I can quickly tell him about three projects. Chez Doris has 19 rooms for homeless women. Utile, in Quebec City, has almost 200 units of housing for an affordable—more than affordable—price of $490. There are many projects in Quebec, even in his riding.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I would just like to make a correction. The $40 billion is for the whole national housing strategy. We are talking about $6 billion for Quebec.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I would like to give my colleague some figures because I think that is important. In terms of CMHC funding, there has been $348 million in the co-investment fund since 2015. Moreover, there is $340 million for phase two of the rapid housing initiative and $223 million

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I was in Montreal this morning too. I was there with my hon. colleague opposite. One thing I heard about this morning that I think he would agree with is the issue of social diversity. Yes, we need to build social housing, we need to build affordable housing, and we

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, what does the minister think is the biggest difference between us and the Conservatives? I want him to talk about fighting for Canadians, defending their right to have a home.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Drummond for his speech. He addressed a number of things. As previously mentioned, I am a prime example of a successful and integrated immigration. I do not have an accent when I speak French. I would like my colleague's thoughts on the

Women's Right to Choose  Mr. Speaker, I was supposed to talk about Mother's Day today, but my mother and all the women who fought for a woman's right to choose expect every woman in the House to speak out against any attempts to turn back the clock on that right. I would like to echo the great speech th

Housing  Mr. Speaker, my colleague, the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, misled the House, and I would like to set the record straight. With respect to the organization he was talking about in his question today, I have met with them twice since April 27. A meeting is scheduled for n

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I am a former municipal councillor. Never before has a party leader denigrated and insulted a duly elected municipal government in this House. Insults and denigration are not going to get more houses built. I am astounded that Conservative members who are themselves
