Mr. Speaker, to be clear, what the Conservative Party announced yesterday was billions of dollars worth of cuts to programs that would actually get homes built in the country. While the member has portrayed herself as having a moral high ground in her question, I would remind her that it is the Conservative leader who showed up in Niagara with a video crew so he could call a woman's home a shack. It is her leader who goes to encampments across the country, not to see what he can do to help people but to put them in the background of his social media videos for likes.
People who are unhoused are not political props. They are human beings who deserve to be treated with respect.
