My QP question from May 14th wrt affordable housing and the trivialization of the issue by the Conservatives: Mr. Matthew Kellway (Beaches—East York, NDP): Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are turning their backs on hundreds of thousands of Canadians who cannot afford the homes they live in. In Toronto, while the affordable housing wait list sits at over 90,000 households, and growing, only 650 units are under construction. That is the legacy of the Liberals. They killed the national housing program and the Conservatives have been burying it deeper and deeper ever since. Why will the minister not finally listen to Canadians, support our motion, and commit to a national housing strategy? Hon. Candice Bergen (Minister of State (Social Development), CPC): Mr. Speaker, I would be pleased to talk for an hour about what we have been doing on housing but, unfortunately, I was asked no questions. Neither was the President of CMHC. I have a question for that member. Was he part of the scheme? Did he contribute money to the scheme to have offices paid for at the taxpayers expense? Was he part of that scheme?
