| Message | We find it disgusting that the Liberal Party wants to open up housing, an essential need for people and families, to private for-profit corporations. -- Claudia Scott, Spokeswoman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We find it puzzling that the New Democrats and others want to ban our citizens from purchasing their own homes. Sophie JuderÃas Leader of the Liberal Party |
| Date | 14:21:16, March 14, 2017 CET | From | Peoples Party | To | Debating the Housing Act |
| Message | Once the Cabinet is performed, our Infrastructure Minister and I will work on detailing improved housing. Up to now, we have had minimal complaints from government funded housing. These are good buildings for families and can be customized. What we are doing is buying shelter, which allows citizens to use their money elsewhere. Theodore Genesis President, URK |
