Housing

During Statements by Members, members spoke about housing affordability and home construction. Scott Aitchison, a Conservative member, said Canada needs to build 500,000 homes per year, and pointed to industry projections of a nearly 20% decline in construction over the next three years along with declining home ownership among young people. He argued that the Prime Minister’s new housing agency will not build enough homes and called on the government to cut taxes and fees and reduce delays so builders can create more affordable homes.Written by AI from the debate.
