Tamara Kronis Conservative
“The housing market is not working in my community. We do not have enough regular housing, middle-class housing, or supportive housing. At the same time, people on our streets are suffering from addiction.”
“Mr. Speaker, if the member believes market housing is working well in Nanaimo, he really does not understand British Columbia. We are the missing middle. We have the missing market housing and the missing supportive housing. We are in the throes of an addictions crisis. Last night, we heard testimony about how hard it is for someone to resist the lures of addiction when they are down, homeless and sleeping on the street. That question was an insult to my communities.”
