Mr. Speaker, my colleague said that her government is fiscally responsible. After eight years of Liberal inflationary spending, Quebec's inflation is the worst in Canada. Young people are forced to live with their parents permanently because everything is too expensive. Interest rates are so high that the Liberals have robbed young people of their home ownership dreams. Over the past two years, mortgage interest has shot up by 41%. After eight years under the Liberals, rent costs have doubled. When will the Liberals stop mortgaging the future of young people and let them achieve their dreams of home ownership?

Mr. Speaker, I think the government maybe misses the point. Canada has 20 times the land and half the people of France and it is still cheaper to buy a house in France. Of course, after eight years of the Prime Minister's inflationary deficits, mortgage costs have doubled. In 2015, the average mortgage payment was $1,400. Today, it is over $3,500, and now half of Canada's housing markets are severely unaffordable. When will the NDP-Liberal coalition finally end its inflationary deficits so Canadians can afford to keep their homes?
