Yves Perron Bloc Québécois
“We support this bill because we want more homes built. But the government already has an agency that does this work. Why create a new one, and what happens to the old one?”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a question. Obviously, the Bloc Québécois supports the bill, because we want housing to be built. However, a similar body already exists, namely the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Its mandate is very similar, if not identical, to that of Build Canada Homes. Why create a new body? What is the logic there? What will happen to the CMHC?”
