Gord Johns NDP
“The Liberals have run the government for 11 years, but homelessness is still growing. About 65,000 people are homeless every night, and we do not have enough affordable housing. The government still has no plan to fix this. I want to know when they will make ending homelessness a top priority.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of respect for my colleague. However, the Liberals have been in government for 11 years. There are 65,000 people who are homeless on any given night across this country. In 11 years in government, they have yet to present a plan on how they are going to address homelessness, and it is growing. We are at 3.3% non-market housing. The Liberals talk about their major projects list. When is ending homelessness going to make it to the major projects list?”
