He claimed that home ownership costs have gone down to the low 40s as a percentage of disposable income.¹ I just pulled up the numbers from the RBC affordability index, and it actually takes 53% of disposable income for the average family to make payments on the average home.² That is the highest it has been, outside of this Liberal government, since 1990.³ The question · 32 wordsWill the Prime Minister stand up, correct himself and admit that a year and a half into his mandate, ⁴and 11 years into this Liberal government, Canadians cannot afford to own homes?⁵
