Government Business No. 11—Proceedings on Bill C-26
A bill to create a new Crown corporation called Build Canada Homes, meant to support affordable housing supply and innovative building techniques. The bill authorizes funding Build Canada Homes and outlines its governance. In debate, the Conservatives accused it of being an ineffective 'sham' that will barely help, and sparred with the Liberals over whether its spending would truly be transparent and accountable. Meanwhile, the Liberals and a Green MP focused on how the bill might help specific cities or groups in their own ridings.
“I want the government to spend money to fix subsidized housing in my riding. That's what I want this bill to do.”
“I don't like that. That's not relevant. Stop talking about that.”
