Mr. Speaker, everyone in this country should be able to find a home that meets their family's needs and that is in their budget. Sadly, that is not the case. People are struggling to find a home they can afford, and rent under the Prime Minister, since he has taken office, has gone up by 60%. It is a massive increase, and people are struggling. The Prime Minister has not built the homes he promised he would build, nor has he tackled speculation that is driving up the cost of housing. Why has the housing crisis gotten worse, not better, under the Prime Minister?

Mr. Speaker, as the budget is in the drafting stage, I remind the Prime Minister of previous Liberal election promises as a useful guide. For example, it could reduce spending by stopping the spending on fossil fuel infrastructure, cancel the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, cancel the purchases of the F-35 fighter jets, cancel the fossil fuel subsidies across Canada, deliver on promises on pharmacare, fund the disability benefit, fund an independent Canada water agency and deliver on promises to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Will the Prime Minister use this budget to deliver on his promises?
