Jenny Kwan

NDP on Build Canada Homes Act 2026-06-05

132 words · 6 sentences · 10 clauses

Replying to Tamara Kronis (Conservative). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the bill.

“Madam Speaker, I really appreciate that my colleague has taken the time to talk about the importance of having targets, measures and accountability in bills, and also about how important it is to have different kinds of housing. I know that the member comes from Vancouver East, which is, like my riding, suffering very much from the addictions crisis. I am wondering if the member could talk about the importance of having sober housing in this environment.”

Madam Speaker, Claims · 16 wordsthere is a great need for a full range of housing, and that includes supportive housing. Reasoning · 71 wordsThe truth of the matter is that building housing in and of itself is insufficient.Unearned certainty We have to have the supports in place as well for a certain segment of the community, for example, those who are faced with multiple health issues, including addictions issues, mental health issues and so on. Supportive housing is what helps ensure people are successful in that housing, and that is what we need as well. Claims · 45 wordsWe do not have enough supports from the federal government in that regard. By the way, the spring economic update did not renew mental health support funding, ¹and that is going to create greater problems for communities like Nanaimo and mine, and across the country.Off point
