00:00The Speaker, and all Canadians, a beautiful Thanksgiving.
00:03But Canadians will not want to give thanks when they walk down the grocery aisles and
00:07find out the cost of a Thanksgiving meal is up 10% since last year, all under this Prime
00:14Minister's leadership, since he promised that he would be judged by the prices at the grocery
00:19store.
00:19He's out of touch, and Canadians are out of money.
00:22We've heard all of the grand promises and the big spending, but will Canadians who sit
00:28around that table with empty wallets want to know is when will they have the result of
00:32affordable food?
00:34Mr. Speaker, I join the Leader of the Opposition in wishing all Canadians a happy Thanksgiving.
00:43Twelve million Canadians will have just received from the Government of Canada the essentials
00:49benefit, $170 for an individual.
00:53Twenty-two million Canadians have had their taxes cut.
00:58All Canadian families, on average, $20,000 in support.
01:03Child care, national food program, dental care, national child benefit.
01:08That is a country that takes care of each other.
01:11That's a country to be thankful for.
01:12Thank you very much.
01:18The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
01:20He is out of touch, and you are out of money.
01:24Mr. Speaker, giving back a tiny fraction of what the Government takes away will not even
01:28cover one mortgage payment.
01:30And that is if you can afford a home.
01:33Today, we have a report from Habitat for Humanity that did a survey of 22 nations and found that
01:41Canadians were the most likely to have given up on the dream of a home ownership.
01:45Fifty-six percent believe they will never own a home, twice the average of the international
01:50community.
01:51This after the Prime Minister promised that housing would be affordable.
01:55When will we have an end to the promises and of home ownership?
02:00Mr. Speaker, I have to keep reminding the Leader of the Opposition that I just got here.
02:12He's been here for a while.
02:14Every single month, every single month that this Government has been in office.
02:23Speaking of Thanksgiving, I'd be thankful if Members could hold it down just a little
02:39bit.
02:40The Right Honourable Prime Minister from the top, please.
02:43Mr. Speaker, I would note the Leader of the Opposition 240 months and counting 18 months.
02:53What's happened in those 18 months?
02:55Every single month, rental affordability has improved in this country.
03:00Every single month, housing affordability has improved in this country.
03:04Jobs are up.
03:05The economy is up.
03:16The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
03:18The guy who said he was going to build at unimaginable speeds says he just got here after 18 months,
03:27Mr. Speaker.
03:27It's not that he has failed to make things better after the 10 years of Liberal government
03:32that he helped advise on.
03:34It's that things are getting so much worse.
03:37Rent is up 86 percent.
03:4086 percent almost double from $970 to $1,800 today.
03:46This Prime Minister is now leading an economy where the largest number of Canadians have given up on home ownership.
03:52When will we have an end to the big talk and actually get some home ownership results?
04:02Mr. Speaker, every single month that this government has been in office, rental affordability has improved.
04:13Every single month that this government has been in office, housing affordability has improved.
04:18It's gone from 54 percent of disposable income to the low 40 percent of disposable income on average in this
04:26country.
04:27There is more to do.
04:28There is more to do, Mr. Speaker.
04:30But we have momentum.
04:31We are building Canada.
04:35The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
04:39I'll turn it over to you, the people out there.
04:41Is your rent payment really going down?
04:43Is your mortgage payment really going down?
04:46Is anything really getting built?
04:49Where are the results in your life back home, Mr. Speaker?
04:53This is the Prime Minister who set up a new bureaucracy that he said would double home construction to 500
04:59,000 a year.
05:00It's built only 2,000 homes, Mr. Speaker.
05:05Not even a drop in the bucket.
05:08And home building is down 4 percent year over year.
05:12Will the Prime Minister stop with the big promises and the big spending and actually deliver some real results?
05:19Just a reminder to go through the chair, even when using rhetorical devices.
05:26The right Honourable Prime Minister.
05:29Mueller?
05:30Anyone?
05:31Mr. Speaker, I apologize.
05:34I just got here, so I don't know all the rules.
05:38I was not referring to the Prime Minister.
05:41I was not referring to the Prime Minister.
05:42The Prime Minister may answer the question.
05:47Mr. Speaker, real results, 140,000 more Canadians in work.
05:54Mr. Speaker, real results, the fastest growing economy in the G7 in the last quarter, 3.8 percent annualized.
06:06Mr. Speaker, real results, incomes growing, rents coming down, housing affordability improving, building Canada strong.
