Bloc Québécois on Build Canada Homes Act 2026-06-05

147 words · 12 sentences · 14 clauses

Replying to Claude DeBellefeuille (Bloc Québécois)

“Madam Speaker, it is always interesting to listen to my colleague, the Bloc Québécois whip. I would like my colleague to talk to us about the diversity of social housing in Quebec. There are housing co-operatives and non-profit organizations that manage social housing buildings for people with disabilities or seniors. There is also social housing or low-income housing for seniors. I understand that other provinces do not have as much diversity. This diversity is Quebec’s strength. I would like my colleague to tell us about one of Quebec’s demands. Quebec would like to see funds set aside to allow alternative housing networks to flourish. When I think of Build Canada Homes, I tend to think that we are talking about housing in partnership with private entities, which might exclude community organizations, for example.”
