Conservative on Build Canada Homes Act 2026-06-09

111 words · 6 sentences · 10 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives really need to open their eyes and see what is actually taking place. If I were to use the province that my colleague from Fleetwood—Port Kells comes from, in British Columbia alone, over 1,100 homes are going to be built under this government, working in collaboration with the British Columbia government. What is wrong with that? Hundreds of homes will be for supportive housing. The Conservatives, on the other hand, sit back and say they know the government cannot do it. I have news for them. The Government of Canada, working with the Government of British Columbia and other stakeholders, will build over 1,000 homes in the next 12 months. Does the member opposite support the initiatives that are going to deliver non-profit homes for the people of Canada?”
