“The Prime Minister spent $50 billion on a pipeline, but he will not spend enough on housing. Canadians are struggling with high interest rates and housing costs. I want the Prime Minister to make community housing a national priority and increase the budget to build one million non-market homes.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is willing to spend $50 billion on a pipeline, a decision that guts Canada’s climate strategy and tramples on indigenous rights, but we do not see the same ambition when it comes to his so-called wartime housing program. With Canadians facing mounting bills, higher interest rates and skyrocketing housing costs, will the Prime Minister declare building community housing a national interest and increase the housing budget to build one million non-market housing units for Canadians?”
