In Canada, according to his housing agency, home construction is down 32% year-over-year,
00:00:12.080
It is true the Prime Minister has much more expensive federal government programs
00:00:16.640
to build more government bureaucracy and less homes.
00:00:21.740
Will he adopt our common-sense plan to build homes, not just bureaucracy?
00:00:26.200
Mr. Speaker, we all know the mistrust and the distaste the Leader of the Opposition has
00:00:35.000
That's particularly because the experts have roundly panned his approach on housing
00:00:40.300
as not going to be able to create the housing that Canada needs.
00:00:43.820
Every time he announces and gives home-building numbers,
00:00:46.200
he's talking about promises that have not been realized.
00:00:49.760
For example, he promised in 2015, eight years ago,
00:00:53.040
that he would sell federal lands to build homes.
00:00:56.200
Now, today, Radio-Canada reports that it takes 23 years
00:01:04.200
for the government to dispose of lands and turn it into new homes.
00:01:08.360
In fact, one project won't be done until the year 2038.
00:01:15.100
How many generations of Canadians would have to survive long enough
00:01:19.980
for the Prime Minister to realize any of the promises that he makes?
00:01:23.500
Instead of doing what the Leader of the Opposition says and picking fights with the municipalities,
00:01:28.580
we will work with them to ensure that they are building faster.
00:01:32.340
That's what our housing accelerator is all about,
00:01:34.700
unlocking hundreds of thousands of new homes over the coming years.
00:01:38.500
What he's actually done is unlock hundreds of new photo ops at the expense of Canadian taxpayers.
00:01:44.500
So, for example, he's now given $15 billion to the renamed and recycled construction loan program.
00:01:52.500
This is a program that has built less than half of its targeted promises.
00:01:56.500
And the new money that he says will build homes will arrive in 2025, the new homes in 2028.
00:02:04.500
Mr. Speaker, how many times would this Prime Minister have to be re-elected on his promises for housing
