“Our plan to lower building fees in Ontario and British Columbia is helping build more homes. Housing starts are up in cities like Montreal and Vancouver. We need that to happen across the country, and we are working to make housing affordable.”
“Mr. Speaker, CMHC also weighed in on the fact that the lowering of the development charges by this government in Ontario and B.C. is actually improving the prospects for housing supply in those provinces, and we are just getting started. There is a mix of housing starts across the country. Housing starts are up in critical markets such as Montreal and Vancouver. We need to see that across the country, and we are focused on affordability.”
