“Housing has been a problem in Canada for 40 years. Our plan to build more affordable homes is working. We already have 19,000 homes under way in less than a year. We are working with the provinces and territories to build student housing, cheap rentals, and starter homes for young people.”
“Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt that we have challenges with housing across Canada. That has been the case for about 40 years. We have to build more affordable housing. That is what Build Canada Homes is focused on. It crossed the threshold of 19,000 homes under way in less than a year. We have seen really good success on the ground, with agreements right across the provinces and territories, agreements that are going to deliver affordable housing. In particular, they are going to deliver for young Canadians, with student housing, affordable rental housing for young people and attainable housing to get people into the market for the first time.”
