Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. As we all know, property ownership is now out of reach for Canadians across the country, and that is unacceptable. That is why budget 2022 contains concrete measures, including a $200‑million investment to develop rent-to-own projects, the creation of a tax-free first home savings account that would give first-time homebuyers the ability to save $40,000, and a two-year ban on foreign investors acquiring property. That is federal leadership. I hope the opposition will vote in favour of these measures this time.

Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, budget 2022 contains concrete measures. We will invest $10 billion over the coming years to increase the housing supply and ensure that everybody, including seniors, has a place to live.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for that very important question. All across the country we have seen housing become unaffordable. That is why housing is the centrepiece of budget 2022. We are making unprecedented investments to double housing construction, help Canadians buy their first homes, cut unfair practices that drive up the price of housing and support the construction of affordable housing. We did this through federal leadership, and we will continue to deliver the homes people need all across the country.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. Canadians across the country are finding it extremely difficult, or almost impossible, to buy a home. That is unacceptable, and it is why budget 2022 presents some tangible measures, such as a $200‑million investment to develop rent-to-own projects, a tax-free first home savings account for up to $40,000, and a two-year ban on foreign investment in housing. Our government has taken leadership on housing since 2015 and we will continue to do so, because the Conservatives did nothing when they were in government.

Mr. Speaker, I remind my hon. colleague that the national housing strategy has numerous benefits, and that it not only helped Canadians pay their rent but also helped many of them buy a new home. The historic investment we have made in budget 2022 will support homeowners and get them their dream house.
