Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this Liberal government, the housing crisis is hitting all Canadians hard. Take Quebec City, for example. The average rent has increased by more than 19% over the past year. It will take twice as long to pay off a mortgage. They will need up to 25 years to be able to put aside the down payment to buy a house. That is the reality Canadians are facing after eight years of this Liberal government. What are the Liberals doing? They are the undisputed champions of photo ops. When will they champion real action to build houses and apartments?

Mr. Speaker, for eight years, this government has insulted Canadians with its housing record, which is dismal right now. Even the president of CMHC acknowledges that this government has no plan to turn things around. Housing starts have dropped by 28% over the past year. That is the Liberal reality. We will take no lessons from this minister. When are they going to stop holding press conferences and photo ops? When are they going to take real action to build houses and apartments? That is what Canadians want.
