In 2017, The Canadian government announced that it would allocate C$40 billion (US$31.6 billion) to a national housing plan to alleviate the severe lack of affordable housing. This includes building 100,000 affordable housing units, repairing another 300,000 social units that already exist and reducing homelessness by 50%.

The priority should not be building new houses, but rebuilding and repairing existing houses, making the purchase of a house easier for citizens, leaving existing or building appropriate/enriching environments for wildlife.
Yes, so long as they are affordable and within designated build sites, while avoiding traditional Indigenous lands and public greenspaces.

No, the government should not be in the business of building homes unless the project directly gives back to economy
@8VRWYWY4yrs4Y
Only if the demand for housing requires that.
@8VRPQSC4yrs4Y
Housing should be evaluated on a need basis
@8VNM7XJ4yrs4Y
Housing should be market driven
If more houses are needed yes. Maybe make some of them for the public for homeless people.
@8VLH4JT4yrs4Y
don't build homes if we don't need them build them if the population is going up
@9C9F9K32yrs2Y
They should work towards building more homes but maybe not that many. They should also work towards rebuilding and repairing existing houses if that's an option. And of course this shouldn't be at the expense of farmland and/or green space
@8VMHNLW4yrs4Y
Provide grants for builders willing to invest in affordable housing
