“Rent has gone down across Canada for 20 months in a row. Our government is spending money on affordable housing, food programs, and money back for groceries and children. We vote to make life cheaper, but the opposition votes against it.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are seeing rents come down across Canada right now. We are seeing 20 straight months of rents declining, which is a positive trend. We are investing in the affordable housing that Canada needs to make sure that Canadians can afford housing. We are investing in discounts and rebates with the groceries and essentials benefit, benefits for children and food programs, across the board. This side of the House votes for affordability. That side of the House votes against it.”
