Conservative on Build Canada Homes Act 2026-06-05

101 words · 10 sentences · 10 clauses

Replying to Elizabeth May (Green)

“Madam Speaker, there was so much I agreed with in the speech the member gave. She referred to the fact that we should look at homes as homes and not as investments. If I am not quoting her accurately, I am sure she can correct me. The concept that Greens also bring to this is that we are building homes and communities. We are not just building homes for market purposes. We need to meet the needs of communities and help people actually have a life with dignity. I wonder if the member has any comments on the approach between a Crown corporation, bricks and mortar, and what we can do to make people’s lives better.”
