Replying to Jasraj Hallan (Conservative)

“Madam Chair, the minister’s own housing agency says that 480,000 homes need to be built per year, over the next few years, to restore home affordability. The Liberals promised 500,000 homes per year. Their own housing agency says that home starts will decrease over the next few years, with a max of 280,000 homes per year. When will the Liberals build 500,000 homes per year?”
