Mr. Speaker, I very much look forward to working with the NDP Premier of Manitoba on a renters bill of rights. We just presented a number of measures that will directly help renters, like ensuring that rent is counted toward the calculation of credit scores so people can get a mortgage and protecting renters from landlords. We recognize, as I am sure the NDP does, that that is largely in provincial jurisdiction, but I am very glad to hear that the NDP Premier of Manitoba will be stepping up to work with the federal government on delivering for Canadians in Manitoba and indeed right across the country.

Mr. Speaker, rental markets and home prices in communities across the country are making it difficult for Canadians to find an affordable place to live. The current systems in place to guide or protect Canadians while they make these important purchases are not enough. Can the Prime Minister tell us what protection Canadians will find in the new blueprints for a renters' bill of rights and a homebuyers' bill of rights?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Brampton South for her advocacy on this important issue. This week, we released the blueprints for a renters' bill of rights and a homebuyers' bill of rights. They lay out a plan to help protect renters from unfair practices like renovictions and excessive rent increases, something the Conservative leader could not care less about. The Conservative leader is a failed Harper housing minister with a laughable record. Lazy politicians come up with lazy policies and failed results. That is exactly what the Leader of the Opposition is offering Canadians.
