Madam Speaker, Procedure · 29 wordsI want to take advantage of the minister’s presence here to tell him about what is happening in my riding, in the Gaspé region and in the Magdalen Islands.Procedure Claims · 56 wordsThe cost to build housing is not the same across the board. In the Gaspé region, in particular, it often costs about 25% more because of the remote location and the fact that there is less competition.¹ It is even worse in the Magdalen Islands because all the materials have to be brought in by ship. Procedure · 10 wordsHere is my concern and my question for the minister.Procedure The question · 35 wordsFirst, is he aware that the regions may have different construction costs? Second, will Build Canada Homes have the flexibility it needs in its support for housing projects in order to adapt to regional realities? Claims · 34 wordsOtherwise, what is happening right now is that projects in my riding are stalled because they cannot be completed within the budget, given that construction costs were based on cost estimates in urban areas.
