Tony Wakeham says one day they have 750 new units, next day they have 11, then one day 32 units in Corner Brook are part of a new 143 unit build, then they’re not, but now they’re being torn down because they’ve gone beyond repair.
PC Leader Tony Wakeham is calling for the resignation of the province’s housing minister saying the people of the province have lost confidence in the Liberal Government’s response to the housing crisis. He says the last week and a half in the House of Assembly has been total confusion with government’s announcements on housing. He says one day they have 750 new units, next day they have 11, then one day 32 units in Corner Brook are part of a new 143 unit build, then they’re not, but now they’re being torn down because they’ve gone beyond repair. Wakeham says people are losing confidence with government and this has to change. The Stephenville-Port au Port MHA says he’s getting calls from people who say interest rates on their mortgages are costing upwards of $700 a month. Wakeham says the housing crisis facing Newfoundlanders and Labradorians did not start two weeks ago, it has been brewing for years.
