I would like to start off by questioning Miss Lucky commissioner of the RCMP. Miss Lucky Do you acknowledge and agree that the RCMP is independent of the federal government and is free to investigate without influence? Yes. Has the RCMP ever been influenced and or deterred by the federal government to investigate a criminal matter? Not to my knowledge. Is the RCMP free from any influence or direction by the federal government to lay a criminal charge?

Absolutely.

If the subject matter of an investigation, is the prime minister himself, are you concerned about any government interference or reprisal? No.

The measures that were undertaken pursuant to the scope motion that Mr. brach himself voted for, and that’s with respect to the enforcement measures.

I suggest we listen to Mr. Brock here his line of questioning not sure, but I would imagine that there was a link there.

Miss Lucky? Are you aware that today in the house during question period, the Prime Minister admitted that he did not give himself permission to accept a free vacation from a federal lobbyist competing mission.

I’m gonna have to agree with Mr. Villani to rock unless you have an explanation to provide I don’t think this is relevant to our current study, on the declaration in the state of emergency.

I respectfully disagree. The prime minister as head of government, the Prime Minister was the lead voice in the invocation of the emergencies act. He is now under a cloud of suspicion with respect to the offense of fraud. Fraud is offense of dishonesty. Dishonesty involves the matter of integrity and character.

I would just like us to give Mr. Brock an opportunity to explain things he’s comments or I’ve said are not relevant. He’s trying to make an argument to try to convince us I’m listening but he hasn’t yet caused me to change my mind. I’m gonna let him have this opportunity to continue explain thing. Are you done? Mr. Brock?

I had one final point. Okay. On the issue of integrity and character and honesty, Canadians have a right to know whether or not our head of government has been compromised because of his involvement in this particular matter. And hence, there has been an erosion of trust in the federal government to grow the nation.

I’m sorry, Mr. Brock, but thank you, Mr. Brock. I’m maintaining my decision in that. This question, this line of questioning is not relevant to our debate.

Good morning, Prime Minister Jeff out that from the Waterloo Region record, I want to return to housing for a second here. My son 25 years old still lives at home with us college grad good paying job, he laughs off the idea that he’ll ever own a house, a detached house like the one he lives in now that we were able to afford 25 years ago. He just thinks it’s a joke. The housing prices are ridiculous, there’s no way he’s ever going to be able to afford the kind of mortgage it would take crippling for life. So I want to ask your thoughts on that those, you know, people starting out in their 20s and early 30s. What do you say to them? Do you say give up on detached ownership and go for something smaller, and it’s a dream that’s dead? You’re never gonna get there? Let me ask how you feel. Obviously,

I’ve heard from Canadians, like your son, across the country who are really worried about the housing market who wonder whether or not they’ll ever be able to afford a home. One of the challenges we’re facing in Canada is our population with immigration and other things has been growing over the past years, and housing construction hasn’t kept up, which is a real problem. And that’s why one of the initiatives, we’re working on $4 billion towards municipalities in order to double the construction of new housing over the coming years.

This is something that is going to help, whether it’s enough or directly going to be helping your son, we’ll have to see because there’s not just one program that’s going to help anyone there’s going to be a range of programs from programs of renting to own that we’ve launched as well in this budget from programs that are helping the first time home buyers with increased incentives and reduction in their mortgage mortgage costs, initiatives to build greater density, particularly around public transit that are going to allow people to get into the housing market with their first starter condo starter home. These are the kinds of things that get people’s toes in the door. We know that young people need to be able to build the stable base with which they want to start a family give their future kids the kinds of opportunities that their parents worked hard to give them. And that’s what this budget and this focus of the government is on right now. But it’s not going to be easy.
