Mr. Speaker, according to Statistics Canada, 58% of Canadians between the ages of 15 and 24 are highly anxious about their capacity to pay rent or even to have the ability to own a home. After eight years under the Liberal Prime Minister, the average monthly mortgage payment in Canada has more than doubled, to nearly $3,000. After eight years under the Liberal Prime Minister, 45% of variable-rate mortgage holders say they will have to sell their homes or vacate them within nine months. It was once a Canadian dream to own a home. Now it is just a pipe dream. Conservatives will continue to oppose this Liberal inflationary spending, because a dollar in the pocket of the person who earned it is always better spent than in the hands of the politician who taxed it. Our Conservative leader has a clear message of hope for all Canadians: A Conservative government would put Canadians back in control of their lives and of their government.
