Mr. Speaker, the number of forced evictions reported in Quebec continues to rise at an alarming rate. Where are these people going to live? Over two million affordable housing units have been lost because of the Liberals and the Conservatives. Just last week, the Conservatives voted to scrap all funding for social and affordable housing. The government says it wants to draw inspiration from certain measures Canada took in wartime. Where has this war effort to fight the housing crisis been over the past eight years?

Mr. Speaker, all those apartments have one thing in common: They do not exist. These are just more promises. Eight years ago, the Prime Minister promised to spend $87 billion on affordable housing. As a result, rents and mortgage payments doubled. Now, evictions have increased by 132% in Quebec. The main cause of homelessness is evictions after eight years of this Prime Minister. When will he recognize that creating bloated bureaucracy and driving up inflation do not help with housing?
