M-36 — June 15, 2026 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) national data for 2023-24 shows the prevalence of Canadian youth using vaping products remains alarmingly high, with 27% of grade 12 students having vaped in the last 30 days,

(ii) experts have been sounding the alarm regarding the lack of action from the federal government with respect to the widespread availability of flavoured vaping products that are fuelling the youth vaping crisis in Canada,

(iii) vaping among young people is associated with specific serious negative health impacts for this age group, including severe addiction, harm to brain development, difficulties with learning and concentration, as well as other mental health problems,

(iv) all people who do not smoke shouldn’t use e-cigarettes in order to avoid nicotine addiction and exposure to cancer-causing chemicals as well as their adverse effects on heart and lung health,

(v) in June 2021 Health Canada stated its intention to reduce youth vaping by removing flavourings from vaping products, but has failed to follow through five years later,

(vi) vaping has been marketed as an effective way to quit smoking, but no vaping product has ever been approved as smoking cessation aids in Canada,

(vii) 2022 data from Statistics Canada shows that fruit and mint flavoured vape products are more commonly used by young people aged 15 to 24 than older age groups,

(viii) the federal government’s framework that allows vaping flavours and online sales undermines the enforcement of comprehensive flavour bans for vaping products adopted by six provinces and territories,

(ix) in addition to the forty-six (46) countries that have banned recreational vaping products altogether, a growing number of jurisdictions have banned flavours other than tobacco including Finland, Lithuania, Hungary, Ukraine, Netherlands, Slovenia, Latvia, and as of September 2028 Belgium, as well as the states of California, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Washington, DC.; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should restrict the manufacture and sale in Canada of vaping products with flavours or aromas other than tobacco.

M-37 — June 15, 2026 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) Canada is experiencing a severe housing affordability crisis, with an insufficient supply of non-market housing available to low- and moderate-income households,

(ii) non-market housing, including co-operative housing, public housing, and other permanently affordable housing models, is essential to ensuring that all Canadians have access to safe, secure, and affordable homes,

(iii) housing affordability should be measured by the principle that households spend no more than 30% of their gross income on housing costs,

(iv) federal revenues generated through residential real estate transactions should directly contribute to the creation of permanently affordable homes in the communities where those revenues are generated; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should,

(i) establish a permanent and dedicated Housing Affordability Reinvestment Fund,

(ii) allocate to that Fund all Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenues collected on residential home sales,

(iii) ensure that funds are returned to the communities in which the revenue was generated,

(iv) require that funding be used exclusively for the construction, acquisition, or preservation of non-market housing, including co‑operative, public, Indigenous, and community-owned housing,

(v) ensure that housing supported through the Fund remains permanently affordable and is geared to income, with eligible households paying no more than 30% of their gross income toward housing costs,

(vi) work with provinces, territories, municipalities, Indigenous governments, and non-profit housing providers to expand Canada’s stock of non-market housing through this permanent funding mechanism,

(vii) report annually to Parliament on its progress toward meeting Canada’s affordable housing needs through achieving these objectives.
