“This bill invests seven billion dollars to build cheaper rental apartments and changes the plan for home buyers. Young people are struggling to afford housing. I want the parliamentary secretary to explain how these housing measures will help young Canadians.”
“Mr. Speaker, the spring economic update has some important new measures on the housing front: a $7-billion investment in the apartment construction loan program to build below-market rental units, and changes to the homebuyers plan. Just yesterday I met a couple: Jack, a civil engineer, and Sophie, a youth counsellor. They just bought a new home, and they are very realistic about the costs that they are facing right now with some affordability pressures. I was hoping that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister could speak a bit more about the measures in Bill C-30 and the spring economic update on housing, and how these are going to improve the outlook for young Canadians.”
