Jenny Kwan NDP
“This housing bill has no accountability. It does not say who is in charge, how many homes will be built, or where they will be built. It also has no rules to make sure homes are affordable. Relying on private companies has failed to solve the housing crisis for 30 years.”
“Madam Speaker, that is exactly the point. There is no accountability in the bill. It does not even name the minister responsible for ensuring the deliverability. It does not actually say what the government is trying to do. How many units will it build and in which provinces? What are the targets the government will set? The bill does not even ensure that the government delivers on letting Canadians know what the outcomes are, and there is no affordability measure. It is just like, “oh well, whatever”. If we have a plan like that, how is the housing crisis going to be solved? History has shown that what the government has done over the last 30 years is rely on just the private sector, and that has failed.”
