Scott Aitchison Conservative
“The Prime Minister promised to build homes quickly, but he has only created more government offices. Housing costs and debt are up, home building is slowing down, and fewer homes are being built. I want to know where the results are.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member just described what happens in a recession. The fact is that Canadians need results. This Prime Minister promised results. In fact, he promised to build at a speed not seen in a generation, but all he has delivered in his first year is a third federal housing bureaucracy with no targets, no timelines and no results. He has given Canadians higher costs, higher debt and fewer homes. His regular news conferences in front of that housing construction project in the south end of Ottawa every Monday are not going to fool Canadians much longer. Home construction is slowing. The crisis is getting worse. Where are the results?”
