Mr. Speaker, the question was about rent in Canada. Rent prices have doubled after eight years under the Prime Minister. They have tripled in his home city of Montreal. Now, according to the homebuilders of Canada, they expect that construction numbers will actually plummet this year relative to prior years. They say that this will lead to higher prices, and they say we require “policy changes” to reverse it. Will the Prime Minister finally accept a common-sense plan to build the homes so Canadians can afford the rent?

Mr. Speaker, it just proves what I said earlier. He is not interested in Ukraine. When I asked about rental prices, he started spreading disinformation about Ukraine. He could not care less about the war effort over there. He only cares about distracting from his failures at home. One of his failures is that rents have tripled in Montreal. The builders association says that this year will be one of the worst. Why has the price of housing gone down in the United States while it is ballooning here in Canada?
