Xavier Barsalou-Duval Bloc Québécois
“The government caused the housing crisis by letting immigration get out of control. Now it is creating new housing programs instead of admitting its failure.”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on his speech. Today’s debate on Build Canada Homes has led me to reflect on why the government created this agency. The fact is that it did so because of the current housing crisis. What caused the housing crisis? It was the surge in immigration and the government’s inability to control the situation. What we have is a pyromaniac federal government that decided to masquerade as a firefighter through new programs. What goes through my colleague’s head when he sees that? Instead of admitting that it royally failed and then fixing things, the government chooses to constantly create new programs even though no one knows whether they will work or not.”
