Patrick Weiler Liberal
“The opposition complains about government spending, but high costs in Canada are driven by outside events like trade wars. Our spending helps. This bill includes money for apartment construction loans, which will make housing more affordable.”
“Mr. Speaker, oftentimes, we hear concerns from members on the other side about government spending. They seem to forget that many of the factors contributing to the affordability challenges in Canada have to do with external factors, like the trade war we are in right now. I can tell the member that our investments, including the investments in this spring economic update, like the apartment construction loan program, are making a meaningful difference. They are making life more affordable and they are tackling the main issue driving affordability challenges, which is housing.”
