Mr. Speaker, the Bank of Canada's interest rates are hurting Canadians such as John Cufflin, a 76-year-old man who had to sell his home because his mortgage payment went from $1,000 a month to $2,600 a month. Now he is not sure he can find a place that he can afford to rent that is in his budget. Tax incentives to private developers alone will not solve this crisis. When will the Prime Minister get serious about building homes that people can actually afford?

Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, we already know that tent cities spring up faster than houses. Take a look on the other side of the river, in Gatineau. What is the Prime Minister doing tonight? He is holding a $1,500-a-head fundraiser in Gatineau. Could he be any more out of touch? Is the Prime Minister's plan to go chat up wealthy developers again and ask them nicely if they will build affordable housing?
