“Housing construction is up and rents have dropped for 18 months in a row. We are working with non-profits and builders to create more affordable homes, but there is still more work to do.”
“Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member for University—Rosedale. Yes, we are very happy to see housing starts up 10% year to year and to see construction activity above the 10-year average, as well as seeing average rents come down for 18 consecutive months. We are seeing movement in the right direction. There is a lot more work to do. Build Canada Homes is delivering on more social, supportive and community housing, working with non-profits, co-ops and builders across the country. We are seeing progress, and we are just getting started.”
