Mr. Speaker, 1.5 million Canadians are using food banks. Today, the reality is that rent costs twice as much as it did eight years ago. For Canadians, mortgages currently cost twice as much as they did eight years ago, when the Liberals took office. Something is wrong here in Canada. Meanwhile, what are we seeing? We are seeing the Prime Minister living large and jet setting off to New York and back. What we are asking is that the Prime Minister come down off his tower, come back down to earth and tell Canadians what he will actually do to help them.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for his important work on this important issue. We know that one homeless veteran is one too many. That is why we announced the new veteran homelessness program. This program will provide much-needed rent supplements and wraparound supports that are geared toward the particular needs of Canadian veterans. Veteran-serving organizations can apply through the Infrastructure Canada website over the next eight weeks for this important fund. This is a significant step in ensuring that each and every Canadian veteran has a safe and affordable place to call home. We will remain dedicated to those who have served us with courage and dedication.
