Liberal on Government Business No. 11—Proceedings on Bill C-26 2026-06-16

122 words · 7 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Billy Morin (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has been good at announcing programs, dollars and funds, but it is really blank on the details. I am wondering if the minister knows what codes are on the first nations themselves and if he is going to invest from the public purse into first nation homes. There is a shortage of 157,000 homes, and the national building codes and provincial codes do not apply on first nations. What codes will he be building to when investing this money from the public purse in first nations?”
