Replying to Eric Lefebvre (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, we are talking about the number of homes built by this new organization established by the Liberal government, Build Canada Homes. The figure is 2%. Only 5,200 housing units out of a target of 500,000 have been built. That represents 2% of the target. At that rate, it would take nearly 50 years to meet the target. Is the minister aware that this cannot work at that pace? Why create a new organization like Build Canada Homes?”
