Replying to Emma Harrison (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, many Canadians are facing a housing affordability crisis, with too many people unable to find a home they can afford. Our government was elected with a clear mandate to build more homes and increase housing supply. Yesterday, the House passed Bill C-20, transforming Build Canada Homes into a Crown corporation focused on accelerating affordable housing construction. Will the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure explain how this legislation will help make housing more affordable and accessible for Canadians?”
