“Our housing program is already helping build affordable homes quickly, including eight projects in Ottawa. Can the housing minister share an update on this work?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Build Canada Homes is Canada’s affordable housing builder, and it is already delivering real results. It is working with partners to accelerate the construction of affordable homes across Canada, including right here in Ottawa. In just a few short months, we are already seeing progress, with the fast-tracking of eight shovel-ready projects in growing neighbourhoods. Can the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure please update the House on the momentum that the partnership between Build Canada Homes and the City of Ottawa is delivering?

“We are helping build over 1,100 homes in Ottawa across eight projects. Most of them will be affordable.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, there is exciting news this morning here in Ottawa. I was proud to be at a construction site with the Prime Minister and the mayor to announce those eight shovel-ready projects. There will be over 1,100 homes. Over 90% of those are affordable homes by the Build Canada Homes’ standard. This is great news. We are building at scale. We are prioritizing projects on the ground. We are building these deep partnerships, in this case at the City of Ottawa, and looking forward to continuing to build that good work.
