Kelly DeRidder Conservative
“The government promised to make life affordable. I want the minister to explain why seniors are the fastest-growing homeless group in Waterloo, where the wait-list for affordable housing has grown by 700%.”
“Mr. Speaker, that was another non-answer. The Liberal government has said that it is going to make life affordable for everyday Canadians. If this is true, can the minister please stand up and explain why seniors make up the fastest-growing group in the Waterloo region facing homelessness? The wait-list for individuals over 55 needing affordable homes in the region has increased by 700%.”
