00:00:00.000 Mr. Speaker, people do not have roofs over their head.
00:00:02.080 After eight years of this Prime Minister,
00:00:03.980 housing costs have doubled.
00:00:05.260 Toronto is the worst housing bubble in the world,
00:00:07.480 and Canada has the worst mortgage bubble in the entire OECD
00:00:11.540 after eight years of his policies.
00:00:13.380 That's why nearly four million people on X alone
00:00:18.560 have watched my groundbreaking and much-acclaimed documentary
00:00:23.140 Housing Hell, How We Got Here, and How We Will Get Out.
00:00:27.460 Will the Prime Minister become the four millionth Canadian
00:00:31.440 to watch this documentary so he can see a common-sense plan
00:00:34.940 to reverse the Housing Hell that he's caused?
00:00:38.260 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:00:41.360 Canadians need our bold action to keep moving forward
00:00:45.600 on the problem of housing affordability.
00:00:48.240 Unlike the Conservative leader,
00:00:50.140 we know that the federal government plays an essential role
00:00:53.800 of leadership in housing.
00:00:55.620 On this side, we're making historic investments in housing,
00:00:59.860 we're linking public transit dollars to housing density,
00:01:03.320 and we're working with cities to modernize
00:01:06.540 and accelerate the way we build homes.
00:01:08.940 While the Conservative leader focuses on click-baits and views,
00:01:13.560 we're focused on building homes for Canadians.
00:01:17.000 The Honourable Leader of the Official Opposition.
00:01:20.100 Mr. Speaker, it's funny.
00:01:21.200 He released a video the very same day of him in a starter home
00:01:24.940 pretending that he was a real estate agent,
00:01:27.440 but in reality, everyone laughed
00:01:28.940 because they know that he's doubled the housing cost.
00:01:31.340 He's delivered an economy where we have the fewest homes per capita
00:01:34.420 of any country in the G7,
00:01:35.760 even though we have the most land to build on.
00:01:38.160 And Toronto is now the worst housing bubble in the world
00:01:41.140 after eight years of this Prime Minister.
00:01:42.900 So that's why I'm putting partisanship aside
00:01:45.680 and offering the Prime Minister and the Liberal caucus
00:01:48.700 a private screening of my documentary.
00:01:52.820 Will the Prime Minister put his ego aside
00:01:55.160 and join with me personally
00:01:56.780 to take in this documentary,
00:02:00.040 Housing Hell, how we got in,
00:02:01.900 and how we'll get out of it?
00:02:03.860 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:02:05.700 The reality, Mr. Speaker,
00:02:08.040 is the Conservative leader continues to call
00:02:10.300 for the federal government
00:02:11.440 to get out of the business of housing.
00:02:14.300 And we will not repeat the same mistakes he made
00:02:17.320 when he was Housing Minister under Stephen Harper.
00:02:20.480 The Conservative leader's present plan
00:02:23.200 won't build enough homes fast enough,
00:02:25.760 doesn't reach enough cities,
00:02:27.060 and creates unnecessary red tape.
00:02:29.740 He'd also defund affordable housing projects
00:02:32.480 and tax affordable rental construction even more.
00:02:36.120 While the Conservative leader focuses on clickbait and views,
00:02:39.900 we're going to focus on building Canadians more homes.
00:02:44.340 The Honourable Leader of the Official Opposition.
00:02:46.780 He did try to make a video.
00:02:49.600 It was a total failure.
00:02:50.980 His videos don't get clicks
00:02:53.300 and his houses don't have bricks.
00:02:55.800 After eight years,
00:02:57.460 that's why housing costs have doubled.
00:03:00.260 He shouldn't have to read his entire answer.
00:03:02.220 I'm offering to inform him
00:03:04.260 if he would just take 15 minutes away from his photo ops.
00:03:07.780 He can watch my brilliant documentary on X or YouTube
00:03:11.220 with a common-sense plan
00:03:12.860 to require cities permit 15% more homes,
00:03:15.800 give them bonuses if they exceed the target,
00:03:18.220 require housing around every federally funded transit station,
00:03:24.640 and sell off 6,000 buildings.
00:03:26.560 This is common sense.
00:03:27.640 Let's bring it home.
00:03:29.740 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:03:31.260 Mr. Speaker,
00:03:35.040 the Conservative leader's plan is to pick fights with municipalities
00:03:38.740 to create more red tape
00:03:41.380 and to withdraw funding for affordable housing
00:03:44.080 and affordable apartments.
00:03:45.740 That's not a plan to build more housing.
00:03:47.860 But he has demonstrated that he's extremely satisfied
00:03:51.020 with his ability to spread misinformation and disinformation online,
00:03:55.160 which, yes, I will admit he's very good at.
00:03:57.940 On this side of the House, Mr. Speaker,
00:03:59.760 we're focused on delivering solutions for Canadians.
00:04:03.100 We're focused on building more housing for Canadians,
00:04:05.700 not focused on self-aggrandizement like the Leader of the Opposition.
00:04:09.240 Mr. Speaker, he is the king of self-aggrandizement,
00:04:17.280 as evidenced by the fact that he's not talking my much-acclaimed documentary
00:04:22.060 when he claims he hasn't even watched it.
00:04:24.620 How would he know about the common-sense solutions
00:04:28.860 if he hasn't had the attention span
00:04:31.320 to sit there for 15 minutes on YouTube or X
00:04:34.360 and watch it, Mr. Speaker?
00:04:36.020 We'll even try to get it on TikTok so that he can find it.
00:04:38.720 Mr. Speaker, it includes a common-sense plan
00:04:41.200 to cut bureaucracy and taxes
00:04:44.240 so that we can bring it home.
00:04:46.020 Mr. Speaker, when I came into question period today,
00:04:55.300 I didn't think I'd be hearing an infomercial
00:04:58.420 for how great Pierre Pauly has social media skills.
00:05:01.620 Sorry, the Leader of the Opposition.
00:05:05.660 We'll back up.
00:05:07.260 I mean, the Honourable Prime Minister knows
00:05:08.660 he's not supposed to use the names of members of Parliament.
00:05:11.440 The Honourable, Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:05:12.940 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:05:14.320 I apologize.
00:05:15.020 I didn't think Canadians were going to be hearing
00:05:17.000 an infomercial for the Leader of the Opposition's YouTube page.
00:05:21.320 The reality, Mr. Speaker,
00:05:22.720 is Canadians deserve a government
00:05:24.460 focused on delivering housing for them.
00:05:27.360 That is exactly what we are doing
00:05:29.100 with historic deals with cities right across the country,
00:05:33.440 with measures to build more housing quickly.
00:05:35.700 We are concretely solving that
00:05:37.400 while he's talking to himself online.
00:05:45.020 Turn in our moderately housing for everyone once again,
00:05:48.400 as I was wondering why we needwoofus.
00:05:50.260 That is absolutely the concept of normal mining circulating this technique,
00:05:52.040 that includesono allowed people to buy them,
00:05:52.820 except for the treasure data if they lives.
00:05:54.140 Anè…³ and the motive,
00:05:54.800 there is absolutely nothing.
00:05:55.740 There is nothing,
00:05:56.880 it's a nature that needs to beلم for them, 0.84
00:05:57.940 and you guys are trying to leverage the貯
00:06:01.100 over the country.
00:06:02.020 There is nothing,
00:06:02.940 you understand for that,
00:06:03.060 some of the cases shouldn't be found.
00:06:04.160 What is thatUE for us,
00:06:05.700 I'll be concerned with you?
