Mr. Speaker, Jean-René Patry is 80 years old. He has worked his entire life and is still working, although he is starting to feel tired. Even though he works, he is forced to live in his van. With his pension and earnings from odd-jobs, an apartment in Montreal is now beyond his means. All of that is the result of the Liberals and the Conservatives leaving housing in the hands of speculators. Mr. Patry knows full well what is needed: social housing, and the sooner the better. Thousands of people just like him are no longer able to put a roof over their heads. What does the Minister of Housing have to say to all the people like Mr. Patry across Quebec and Canada?

Mr. Speaker, I would tell Mr. Patry that today is a day that will go down in history. Today we are going to implement tax measures that will ensure fairness and allow us to invest in housing, health care and medication. I hope the NDP will follow our lead. What we are doing today is making sure that we are going to call on multi-millionaires to do a little more to help Mr. Patry.
