Renovictions

THE SPEAKER: The honourable member for Halifax Needham.

SUZY HANSEN: My question is for the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. A news story published today reports another example of a landlord beginning demolition before the tenant has even moved out. I will table that.

A single mother in Lunenburg who rented an apartment for $550 a month went to the residential tenancies board and was successful in getting permission to stay in the unit, but the demolition crew still showed up.

I would appreciate a simple yes or no answer. Does the minister agree that the government needs to do more to protect tenants from renovictions?
