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, we know that housing affordability is a real concern, and we continue to be committed to tackling it. This is why we have introduced the first-time homebuyer incentive. It is why we committed over $82 billion to the national housing strategy and supported the creation and repair of almost half a million homes. We announced a rent-to-own program. We have helped more than 2.6 million families get the housing they need, and we are working to ensure that every Canadian has an affordable place to call home. We understand there is more to do, but we are continuing to do it.
