Replying to Scott Aitchison (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, where are the results? The Prime Minister promised to double the pace of housing construction to almost 500,000 new homes a year, but his own budget watchdog said his new $13-billion housing agency will build only about 5,000 homes. The CMHC’s chief economist pointed this week to “weaker momentum for future supply”. Meanwhile, Canada’s home prices are up 28% since 2015. Canada has the worst housing affordability in all of the G7. My question is simple. Will the Prime Minister stand and defend his record?”
