Mr. Speaker, I am thrilled to announce the seventh season opening of the Hespeler Village Market, a vibrant and community-centred hub that is a haven for local vendors and shoppers alike. Nestled in the heart of Hespeler village, this eagerly anticipated market brings together a diverse array of vendors showcasing their finest products and creations. However, it is more than just a place to buy and sell. It is a celebration of Hespeler's rich culture, heritage and craftsmanship. Visitors can expect to discover an abundance of fresh produce, baked goods, unique artworks and so much more. Beyond the stalls, the Hespeler market also serves as a gathering space for events and entertainment. It is a cherished meeting spot where neighbours can connect, families can explore and memories can be made. It is truly the hub of Hespeler. I ask members of the House to join me in celebrating the opening of the Hespeler market, and I encourage my colleagues to pay Hespeler a visit and experience this one-of-a-kind market first-hand.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. We agree with him that housing is currently difficult to find and that it is much more expensive. We created the first national housing strategy, which invested in affordable housing and recognized the right to housing, because we need legislation to tackle market speculation. That is exactly what we are doing.
