Cheryl Gallant Conservative
“Housing is the job of provinces and cities, not the federal government. The government is building affordable homes far too slowly. It needs to cut taxes and get out of the way so homes can actually be built.”
“Madam Speaker, the annual report from housing advocate Marie-Josée Houle, who is also a cabinet adviser, says that “the current pace of building deeply affordable homes is so slow that it [will] take over 1,000 years” to get to where we need to be. Housing is a provincial and municipal jurisdiction. All these agencies are working as fronts for private interests. What we need is for the government to cut taxes and just get out of the way so that we can get the homes built.”
