“Young people work hard and get an education, but they still cannot afford homes or stable lives. I blame the government for failing to build housing and lower the cost of living. The Prime Minister is wrong to claim life is affordable.”

“Mr. Speaker, Margaret Haddon from Bradford wrote me to say she raised her children believing that if they worked hard, stayed focused and pursued an education, they would be able to build stable and independent lives, but today she is watching that promise slip further out of reach for them. An entire generation is in this position because of the Liberals’ failure to get housing built and rein in the cost of living. How can the Prime Minister still think affordability is the best it has been in a decade when Canadians like Margaret are watching their children do everything right and still fall behind?”

“Food, rent, and travel costs are going up for families and seniors. The government's economic policies are failing. It should use the Conservative plan instead.”

“Mr. Speaker, at a charity event in L’Ancienne‑Lorette this past weekend, I met a senior couple named Pierre and Nicole, who told me about the day-to-day reality they and their adult children are facing. Food prices are going up; rent is going up; transportation costs are going up. That is the reality facing seniors and their adult children as they try to build a prosperous life for their families in Canada. Clearly, the Liberal policies are failing. Will this government face the fact that it should adopt the Conservative economic plan?”

“Liberal policies are not working, and hard-working people still cannot afford to buy a home. Conservatives want to cut taxes on building, speed up building permits, and make more land available. When will the government use our plan?”

“Mr. Speaker, if the Liberals’ policies were as good as they claim, we would know it, but they are not working. There is a lot of talk, but no real results. Just ask Marie-Pierre, a young woman in her thirties who lives in Lebourgneuf, in my riding. She has a good education, has worked very hard and earns a good living, but she is unable to save enough money to buy a house. The Canadian dream of home ownership has evaporated under this Liberal government. We have a concrete plan to help families and help people buy homes: axe the tax on construction, incentivize municipalities to speed up permits and free up land. When will the Liberal government implement the Conservatives’ policies?”
