Kelly McCauley Conservative
“A budget report says the government is taking money away from poor people to pay for new government offices. That will barely build any new homes. I want to know what the member thinks about this.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer put out a report commenting that the government was stripping away services to the vulnerable via housing benefits and social housing in order to fund another bureaucracy. I wonder what the member thinks about the government taking money away from the most vulnerable to fund another bureaucracy that is going to produce, as the PBO says, only “a modest amount” of new housing.”
