“Housing is becoming more affordable. Average rents in Canada have gone down for 23 straight months because our loan program is helping build tens of thousands of new rental homes. I want the Conservatives to support our work.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives keep flagging affordability concerns with respect to housing. We have great news to share on that. Average rents have come down for 23 straight months across Canada. That is a sign of success. Talk to developers across Canada right now. The apartment construction loan program is financing tens of thousands of rental homes. This is the biggest rental housing boom we have had in generations, and that is delivering affordable rents. We are making progress. We expect support from the other side of the House to get this done.”
