| October 3, 2017 — Ms. Boutin-Sweet (Hochelaga) — That, given that Canada ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which protects the right to adequate housing; that, in so doing, it committed to eliminating the barriers to full enjoyment of this right; that the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recently expressed concern about the persistence of the housing crisis in Canada, including the inadequate funding for housing and the shortage of social housing; that an affordable housing crisis is currently unfolding in multiple regions of the country; that waiting lists for social housing for low-income families continue to get longer; and that the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development will be announcing the details of a national housing strategy this fall, the House urge the government to work with the provinces, the territories, First Nations and housing stakeholders to: |
| (a) invest at least $2 billion more per year to build a vast number of new social housing units, including low-income housing, starting in Budget 2018; |
| (b) preserve the financial accessibility of existing social housing, including the retroactive amounts for expired long-term subsidies, while providing the funding needed to renovate, improve and modernize this housing; and |
