Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, these are the figures I can give him: Since 2015, investments in the national housing strategy in Quebec have led to about half a million housing units being renovated or built in Quebec.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I said half a million housing units have been renovated or built in Quebec.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, what I can tell my colleague is that, in Quebec, and taking just Montreal as an example, we announced a project for 700 housing units that we bought back to ensure that housing remains affordable. There are projects in place to ensure affordability in the long term, a

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

Housing  Mr. Speaker, while we agree on the current housing supply challenges across the country, my colleague knows full well that this government has made historic investments since it came to office, starting with the first-ever national housing strategy. We have built or renovated 48

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. We share the same objective, which is to increase the housing supply for all Canadians in this country. This is exactly why we created the national housing strategy. We invested more money, and we also invested in the right to

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Where I come from, when someone uses the “all talk, no action” line, it is because they have run out of arguments. This national housing strategy has gotten 36,000 people off the streets. It has helped 68,000 people stay off th

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague on the issue of homelessness. We need to ensure that we are tracking the information and that the programs we put in place are exactly what is needed. My colleague asked a question about Yukon. I would be pleased to sit down with him and

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, what I would say to my colleague is that a strategy for indigenous housing has to be developed with indigenous peoples. What is important is not how quickly we create it but how they want to create it. What is important is how they themselves want to implement this

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, one thing my colleague and I agree on is that there is much more to do. Although the investments we are making right now are huge and historic, it is quite obvious that we have a lot more to do to address this shortage of affordable housing and to ensure that all C

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is important to remember two things. The first is that we have lifted over 2.7 million people out of poverty. Unlike my colleagues in the opposition, this government does not view spending as a burden when it helps the most vulnerable and the families who need i
