A bill to create a new Crown corporation called Build Canada Homes to promote and support the supply of affordable housing in Canada. The debates focused on whether creating another bureaucracy is the right approach, with Conservatives questioning the need for a third federal Crown corporation and suggesting it may become another Ottawa bureaucracy. Liberals emphasized the importance of collaboration and providing financial tools to build affordable housing quickly and efficiently. Some concerns were raised about the affordability measurement and the need for varied housing types.
