Madam Speaker, the housing crisis in the Lower St. Lawrence region continues. After eight years of this government, the region has no available housing, so rents are skyrocketing. Housing costs are increasing by 7%, sometimes even 10% or more. These figures are very alarming. They are far higher than inflation, and sometimes significantly higher than wages. That suggests renter households may be getting poorer. Why is the Prime Minister doing nothing to lower the cost of housing?

Madam Speaker, according to what the Governor of the Bank of Canada said yesterday, this Prime Minister's spending is keeping interest rates and inflation high. That will inevitably drive up the cost of housing, mortgage renewals and rent for Canadians and Quebeckers in the coming months. After eight years in office, this government still does not understand that it would just be common sense to balance the budget in the foreseeable future. Will the government take action to balance the budget in a predictable manner in the next budget?
