“We made a deal with Ontario to drop the sales tax on new homes bought since April 1. This can save buyers up to $130,000 on a $1-million home. We are also building affordable homes across the country, including in Guelph.”
“Mr. Speaker, there is good news for Ontario residents and for the residents of Guelph. The deal that we have made with the Province of Ontario will be backdated to April 1 of this year. All new homes purchased since then will have a waiver of the HST. As I mentioned, that is the equivalent of saving $130,000 on a $1-million home. We are not stopping there. We also have affordable housing projects that are under way, from coast to coast to coast, including in Guelph. We look forward to working with the member so that we can have shovels in the ground in her community.”
