Mr. Speaker, after 10 years, the
0:02
Liberals have doubled housing prices.
0:03
The new minister's housing record shows
0:05
the government is more of the same. As
0:08
mayor of Vancouver, he oversaw rent
0:09
increasing 50%, house prices increasing
0:13
179% and homelessness up 40%. And yet,
0:16
we know we must build more homes to meet
0:18
demand. The city of Langford is actually
0:20
discussing slowing down the development
0:22
of homes, stating, quote, "There is no
0:25
award for overachieving. How many more
0:27
Canadians must struggle to find a home
0:30
before this government finally tables a
0:34
The Minister of Housing.
0:36
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, getting
0:38
affordable homes built in Canada means
0:40
partnership and collaboration across all
0:43
levels of government, federal
0:44
government. That's right. Provinces and
0:46
territories, cities, indigenous
0:49
challenges that we have on the ground in
0:50
communities. For seven of my 10 years as
0:52
mayor, it was a conservative government
0:54
that did nothing for affordable housing
