“The Senate just passed a bill to help lower housing costs and rent. Rent has now dropped for 20 months in a row across Canada, including in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to share the good news that the build Canada homes act, Bill C-20, has just passed the Senate. This is another great initiative we have under way to bring down the cost of housing and, in particular, rent. I would like to share that rents have fallen for 20 consecutive month and are down nearly 8% from their peak last year. We are seeing them decline in a number of provinces, including decreases of 1.8% in Quebec, 3.9% in Alberta, 5.7% in British Columbia and 6% in Ontario, where the member is from.”

“The Conservatives cannot be trusted on housing. Their leader insulted middle-class and co-op homes, made fun of modular housing, and told his MPs not to ask for federal housing money for their areas. We are going to build homes.”

“Mr. Speaker, that is from a party whose leader actually called middle-class housing shacks and co-op housing Soviet-style. He has members who mocked modular housing, and that leader actually had the audacity to tell his members not to advocate for housing accelerator funds that would have helped housing construction in their ridings. That leader and that party have no credibility when it comes to housing. On this side, we are going to build, baby, build.”
