“The Conservative leader has no plan to fix the housing problem. Our government does. We are building over 19,000 affordable homes right now and helping people in Ontario save money on new homes.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition, this summer, when asked what he would do about building housing, said absolutely nothing. That was his response. Leave it to the market to solve all our housing woes. We have established Build Canada Homes to build affordable non-market housing. We have over 19,000 homes under way right now. We are building Canada strong and we are offering Canadians in Ontario up to $200,000 off the price of a new home. This is leadership. We are delivering that. We are delivering the homes that Canadians need.”

“We are making it faster and cheaper to build homes. We also cut the GST on new homes. The Conservatives say they care about housing, but they vote against these cuts.”

“Mr. Speaker, not only are we cutting red tape, working with local governments to make it faster to build and reducing development charges dramatically, we have also had a first-time homebuyer break on the GST. The Conservatives fought it all last year. They fought against giving first-time homebuyers an opportunity to save on their first home purchase. We went to the next step with a GST break for all Canadians on new homes. Did this have support from the other side? No. Again and again, they say one thing. One might think they care about affordable housing, but they do not give a hoot about it. They never vote for it.”
