Dominique O'Rourke Liberal
“I support this bill. It creates a government corporation to build affordable homes based on people's income. Past government efforts were spread across too many departments, and old ways of building are too slow to fix the housing crisis.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is wonderful to have an opportunity to speak again in support of the Build Canada Homes act. This landmark legislation would establish Build Canada Homes as a Crown corporation dedicated to building and expanding the supply of affordable homes for Canadians, truly affordable homes pegged to one’s income. We are in a housing crisis. On that, we all agree. Federal efforts to date have been spread across multiple departments and agencies and programs. This limits the government’s ability to have maximum impact. Traditional construction and funding approaches are not delivering the scale or speed Canadians need, which is why we are taking this new, consolidated approach. Of course, all Canadians deserve an affordable place to call home, but doing it the same way we have been doing it for generations—”
