Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his work on the veterans affairs committee, which is very important. I spoke about some of the partners we have on the ground, which are very helpful, and I mentioned Homes for Heroes and tiny homes. This summer I had the opportunity to visit tiny home villages in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. Some funding has been allotted to support veteran homelessness in Halifax and Winnipeg, as well some great work that is happening in Fredericton and in London, Ontario, where we are working toward zero homelessness.

Madam Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to follow up with another item. What is mentioned in words in the fall economic statement, but no so much in actions, is addressing the housing crisis that we find ourselves in. It is in the preamble, but when it comes to actual measures, there is only one mention of moving forward on a flipping measure on assignment sales for homes, but nothing when it comes to, for example, ensuring homes should be places for people to live and not simply a commodity for investors to trade. Can she comment on the measures she would have wanted to see that would have more directly addressed the housing crisis, not just the rhetoric but actual measures?
