Is Canada in an ‘affordability crisis’? Conservative motion heads to a vote
Full story
Canada's Conservative opposition is moving a motion toward a House of Commons vote over the country's affordability. The motion asks lawmakers to officially recognize that the Liberals have governed for 11 years. It also asks them to declare that Canada is in an affordability crisis. The wording ties the opposition's claim directly to the length of Liberal rule. Approval would put that assessment on the parliamentary record without creating any new spending or tax measures. The vote will test how much support the Conservatives can attract for the argument.
The opposition motion calls on the House of Commons to “officially recognize that: (a) the Liberals have been in power for 11 years; and (b) Canada is in an affordability crisis.”
