Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her concern for some of Canada's most vulnerable. I am happy to inform her that we have been working for a number of years to build more homes to support them. In fact, we have doubled funding to the Reaching Home program to support some of Canada's most vulnerable. We recently removed the GST on new apartments. We have seen thousands of new homes come online as a result. I was recently in western Canada to make an announcement to change the way cities are going to build homes. We are going to pull every lever at our disposal to build more homes faster for Canadians, including to provide supports to some of the country's most vulnerable people.
