Helena Konanz Conservative
“I oppose this bill. Housing is too expensive, and creating another government office will not help build homes. Other government housing programs have already failed to give money to the communities in my riding.”
“Mr. Speaker, housing is so important right now in Canada. We cannot waste the moment by building more bureaucracy, more talking and not doing. For example, Build Canada Homes is another bureaucracy. In Penticton, housing is getting so expensive. In Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay, multiple communities in my huge riding have applied for the housing accelerator fund in the last few years. Not one of them has gotten it. Why would we build another bureaucracy when that is not working?”
