Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, it sounds like the member opposite would love it if I tabled this, so again I will ask for unanimous consent—

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I hear my colleague advocate heavily. As we know, there is a massive homelessness crisis. In the housing minister's own province, the main city has 30 tent encampments. If the member is such an advocate, why does her party continue to be in a coalition agreement t

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, the critic for finance has painted a really great picture. He has this lived experience, and he shares it wholesomely, as an immigrant who came to Canada for a better life. There still seems to be some misunderstanding, especially from the Liberal-NDP side.
