Recently during question period, I referenced a letter written by one of my constituents, Margaret Haddon. In her letter, Margaret expressed concerns about the future facing young Canadians. She wrote to say that she
Toronto—St. Paul's Mr. Speaker, I asked the member fora simple question, and she really struggled to answer it, so I will also ask it of the member for Brandon—Souris. Does he believe there is an affordability crisis in Canada, yes or no?
