BREAKING: In the middle of a housing crisis, Pierre Poilievre and his Conservative caucus just voted for a bill to increase the tax on the construction of middle class apartments and cut 97% of housing funding we've put on the table for cities.

After Question Period, MPs will vote on Bill C-356, Pierre Poilievre’s housing plan. It would tax home builders, deny support for housing to the vast majority of Canadian communities and says nothing about homelessness. That’s Poilievre’s housing plan. How will CPC MPs vote?
