Liberal on Build Canada Homes Act 2026-06-09

133 words · 10 sentences · 12 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I wonder if my colleague can pick up on the fact that Build Canada Homes and the government have actually negotiated with and have an agreement with the Province of Quebec. We are seeing affordable homes that are going to be built in Quebec City, Montreal and other, rural communities. It is only a question of time. Those homes will, in fact, be delivered, and it shows the collaboration between both levels of government. I would like his thoughts on that.”
