Mr. Speaker, the housing crisis is a source of stress for many people. There is a shortage of affordable houses and apartments. For years, Liberals and Conservatives have neglected truly affordable housing. Experts tell us that we could ease the burden by converting federal buildings into housing. That is a good idea, but people are still going to have to be able to afford the rent. Can the Liberals guarantee that 100% of available federal land and buildings will be devoted to social and affordable housing?

Mr. Speaker, in a three-bedroom apartment near the Verdun metro station, there is a leak in the bathroom, the balconies are about to fall off the building, the ceilings are full of holes and there is mould everywhere. That is where Isabelle Gagnon and Maxime Pilon live with their new baby. That is the result of decades of Conservative and Liberal cuts to social housing. Rather than proposing solutions, the Conservative leader would rather insult mayors in Quebec, and the Liberals are dragging their feet on the housing crisis. Why are the Liberals abandoning people like Ms. Gagnon and Mr. Pilon?

Mr. Speaker, people across the country are hurting because of the housing crisis. They are paying exorbitant prices or are being forced to move. The Liberals are not building enough social or affordable housing and are not investing enough to maintain existing housing. Yesterday, the NDP leader and I visited an affordable housing complex in Notre‑Dame‑de‑Grâce that had to condemn and close entire apartment units for lack of money to maintain and renovate them. That is ridiculous. When will the Liberals wake up and make serious investments in accessible housing for everyone?
