Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, we put forward this bill to change our nation's policy on housing. While we think more could be done in terms of housing than this bill would allow, we hope that this solution will be a viable compromise in the current political climate. We ask the government to consider this proposal, proposal that would create more housing particularily for low income families. Michael Jeuenne, DL-CA Leader |
