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   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   and says that he cares about all these issues. The voting record shows that the member has voted, every single time, against investments in housing. How does that make sense? The member votes against the very thing that he is advocating for, and then accuses the Liberal government

Business of Supply  Mr. 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

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I actually want to know why the Conservatives voted against the Canada housing benefit, which is helping renters directly.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, it is really difficult to take the party opposite seriously on this issue because it has no plan. What little ideas that the Conservatives bring are something that we have been doing for the last number of years.

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  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, 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?

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, the hon. member is absolutely right. When we brought in the first-time homebuyer incentive, the Conservatives voted against it, even though they claim to care about first-time homebuyers. When it came to introducing the first-time homebuyer tax-free savings account

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Conservatives do not even believe that Canadians have a human right to housing. We are the ones who legislated a human right to housing.
