Context: House Hansard - 281 - Feb/13/24
Mr. Jagmeet Singh (Burnaby South, NDP)

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-appointed housing advocate gave the Liberal government a failing grade today. She has said, “Homeless encampments are a physical manifestation of exactly how broken our housing and homelessness system is across the country.” She has also described it as a “life and death crisis”. While the Prime Minister says he could and should have done more to build housing, this shows how out of touch he is. Will the Prime Minister take this crisis seriously, follow the recommendations and ensure people have a safe place to call home?

Mr. Speaker, that does not sound like a Prime Minister who just heard that the housing advocate gave a failing grade to their government. The federal housing advocate says that homeless encampments are a manifestation of how broken our housing system is. She describes it as a “life and death crisis”. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is simply saying that he could have and should have done more. Will the Prime Minister stop listening only to the advice of real estate giants and help the people facing this serious crisis?
