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

146 words · 10 sentences · 13 clauses

Replying to Tamara Kronis (Conservative)

“Madam Speaker, the Bloc Québécois members are great at defending the provinces in the House. I think I heard my colleague say that he thinks the federal government’s only role in housing should be to transfer money to the provinces. If that is the case, then what would he do with existing federal agencies, like CMHC? Does he think that the federal government should get out of the housing business altogether?”
