Mr. Speaker, I have already celebrated the fact that our programs would cost a lot less and accomplish a lot more.
An apartment would cost $973 a month. Currently it costs nearly $2,000. Average monthly payments would be about 38% of the average paycheque. Currently they amount to nearly 64%.
When will the Prime Minister realize that just because his programs are expensive it does not mean that they are good?

Mr. Speaker, Maclean's magazine reports, “Two jobs, no money: How mortgage rates have pushed one Toronto father to the brink”. Two years into their mortgage, their biweekly payments have reached $2,268, now paying more than $5,000 a month to live in a 900-square foot townhouse, and $3,500 of that goes to interest.
All of his spending programs have doubled the cost of housing and, according to the Bank of Nova Scotia, have boosted interest rates another 2%.
Will he realize the damage he is doing in causing Canadians unsupportable, unsustainable mortgage payments?

Mr. Speaker, when we look at his promise to make it easier for Canadians to get homes, since that time, the payments have actually doubled. We listen to him rattle off the billions he has spent to achieve that failure, and he kind of reminds me of that shady contractor who promises he will build a brand new home, but the cost just keeps going up and up, and the house never actually gets built. That is exactly where young people are today, stuck in their parents' basements, their dreams crushed because they cannot get themselves homes and start families.
Instead of siding with the gatekeepers and sending billions of dollars more to those bureaucracies, why will he not get them out of the way to bring the homes Canadians can afford?

Mr. Speaker, the member should talk to her colleague, who just admitted that I voted in favour of supporting small businesses during the pandemic. However, on this side of the House, we are against fraud. There has been $15 billion in overpayments given directly to the largest corporations, which should not have received it. Now, the Prime Minister's top tax collector says he is not going after the money. He will just leave it in the hands of those corporations. This money equals $1,000 for every household in Canada.
Why do the Liberals put the burden on Canadians who are drowning in debt rather than the powerful corporations that are swimming in profit?

Mr. Speaker, as part of its money printing scheme, the government flooded the financial and mortgage markets with $400 billion of cash that bid up house prices faster than at any time in history. Home prices doubled under the Prime Minister, creating the second-biggest housing bubble on planet earth.
The government said that rates would never rise and families believed it. Quoting CityNews, now that they have risen, “Rob and his wife have an adjustable-rate mortgage and say their payments have gone up by $2,000 a month.” They have three kids. They cannot pay it. What the hell do they do now?

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are now getting the bill for the Prime Minister's half trillion dollars of inflationary deficits that first drove up inflation and now drive up interest rates. A typical family who bought a typical home with a typical mortgage five years ago but are now up for renewal are paying $7,000 more per year.
The Prime Minister said the government was going to take on all this debt so that Canadians would not have to, as if they do not have to pay back government debt. If that were the case though, who is going to pay the extra mortgage payments for these families?

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are now getting the bill for the Prime Minister's $500-billion inflationary deficit. Today, interest rates are being raised again. A family that bought a typical home five years ago with a typical mortgage that is now up for renewal will pay $7,000 more a year.
The Prime Minister said that the government was taking on debt so that Canadians would not have to. Who is going to make the extra mortgage payments?
