Jagsharan Singh Mahal

Conservative on Build Canada Homes Act 2026-06-09

89 words · 4 sentences · 8 clauses

Following a speech by Greg McLean (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I do not appreciate the narrative that we are denying Canadians a solution. The Liberal government, for 11 years now, has made several attempts to resolve this issue by addressing the problem that they see with homelessness and with housing in Canada, and they have only made matters worse over the last 11 years. The Liberals have to accept failure at some point in time and realize that the best thing to do is probably to get rid of the infrastructure we have for housing here in Ottawa and transfer the funds to the province, which would be more adept at solving the problem than the government has proven to be.”
