Oral Questions
Housing
Housing and homelessness were discussed. The Bloc accused the federal government of inaction while noting increasing homelessness and municipal/state efforts in Quebec to address it. The Liberals said they are focused on solutions through a national housing strategy and accused the Bloc of politicizing the issue.
“I am listing many things the government is doing. I do not understand why you don't support us. I want you to support us.”
“I am making this a regional issue. My region needs money from your government. Not one red cent has been spent. Taxpayers must pay for Quebec's housing problem.”
“I don't like that you're making this political. Taxpayers are already spending a lot on housing programs. We have a big national strategy. We gave money to groups. That should be enough.”
