Mr. Speaker, in 2017, the government
0:02
found that 50% of federal offices were
0:04
vacant or underutilized. The Liberals
0:07
said they would cut that number in half
0:09
to create housing. Eight years later,
0:11
the Auditor General has confirmed a less
0:13
than 2% reduction. None of the 10
0:16
properties promised in the capital have
0:17
been transferred and barely 309 of the
0:20
4,000 housing units have been built.

Once again, big talk, but absolutely no
0:24
walk. Why is the Liberal government
0:26
failing to deliver even when the need is
0:27
so great and the money has already been
0:29
budgeted?

The honorable minister for government

transformation. Thank you very much, Mr.
0:36
Speaker. I'd like to thank the auditor
0:38
general for her report and we accept all
0:41
of the recommendations therein to make
0:43
sure that we meet our objectives when it
0:44
comes to federal spaces and rental
0:47
spaces.

In the report, however, she also clearly
0:51
ma maintains that we are on target for
0:54
affordable housing. Thank you, Mr.
