Voting on Bill C-20, a proposed law to create more Canadian homes.

What They Voted On

If a member participating in person wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or if a member of a recognized party participating in person wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair. Hon. Kevin Lamoureux: Madam Speaker, I request that the motion be carried on division.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about a proposed law called Bill C-20, also known as the "Law to Create More Canadian Homes." The main goal of this proposed law is to build many more homes across Canada. The idea is that by having more homes available, housing will become more affordable for everyone. When a vote is "carried on division," it means that the proposed law passed at this stage, but not everyone in the room fully agreed with it. Some members wanted to show they didn't completely support it, even though it still moved forward. This vote was one of the final steps for Bill C-20 in the House of Commons before it moves to the Senate. If Bill C-20 eventually becomes a real law, its real-world impact could be significant. It aims to speed up home construction, which might lead to more houses being built in your community and across the country. This could help make it easier for people to find a place to live and potentially lower the cost of buying or renting a home. Citizens should care about this vote because housing affordability is a big issue for many families in Canada. If you or someone you know is struggling to find an affordable place to live, this proposed law is directly trying to address that problem. It could affect how easy it is to find a home and how much you pay for it in the future.

This decision was made by "passed without counting" — no individual MP votes were counted.
