Elizabeth May

Green on Build Canada Homes Act 2026-06-05

101 words · 8 sentences · 10 clauses

Replying to Ziad Aboultaif (Conservative)

“Madam Speaker, I agree that this bill is not going to do anything. What is scary in this whole process is this: Is the government losing direction? Is it losing focus? The focus has to be on building more homes for Canadians to fix the problem. Is the government only interested in building bureaucracies? I would like the hon. member to comment on that.”
