Mr. Speaker, in our last budget, we moved forward with historic investments to support people buying their homes, whether it is by moving forward to eliminate some of the predatory practices in the real estate market, moving forward with $4 billion for municipalities to accelerate the construction of new homes to create more opportunities for buyers and renters, or moving forward with a tax-free savings account for first-time homebuyers to help them buy their own homes. We know there is much more to do and we are going to continue doing it by working with all parliamentarians.

Mr. Speaker, it has been almost a year since the governing party promised to bring in a homebuyers' bill of rights, to end blind bidding in home sales and to tackle large corporate investors in the housing market. All of those actions would help make housing more affordable, but the federal government has not implemented any of them yet. What are they waiting for? We need urgent action on the housing crisis. When will the Prime Minister finally deliver on these promises?

Mr. Speaker, the government is committed to levelling the playing field for young and middle-class Canadians looking to buy a home. That is why budget 2022 announced that we would work with provinces and territories to develop and implement a homebuyers' bill of rights and a national plan to end blind bidding. The homebuyers' bill of rights would tackle unfair practices in the real estate market, and it could include measures to ensure the right to an inspection and transparency in sales history. We will not rest until we ensure that the dream of home ownership is protected.
