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%.

Yes, but they should focus on affordable housing that would be catering to first-time home buyers. As the housing market is currently overrun by, expensive properties that only more financially established individuals can afford.
@8VRYQHQConservative4yrs4Y
They should incentivize building 1.4 million homes
@8VNWR384yrs4Y
not if theres enough houses for the people buying. dont waste materials unnecessarily just for 'newer' things
@8VMM2C6Conservative4yrs4Y
Place more funding to building apartment buildings and small living quarters, not housing.
@8VMDPV84yrs4Y
While I like the rate of global expansion, the earth will not benefit. We need to rely on the earth.
@8VMB6WPNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, the housing market has to equalize instead of rising outside what most people can afford.
@8VM6NRB4yrs4Y
The government should build houses according to the demand for new infrastructure.
@8VLTBFC4yrs4Y
Only if the houses are for low income families. It would create a lot of jobs
@8VJPFVF4yrs4Y
So long as they are proportionally allocated across the country
@98YDF852yrs2Y
I think this is a good idea and would be benficial, however, I think this is a goal we should work towards over time and maybe start out with a goal of building a lower number of houses.
@96VPR232yrs2Y
Building and paying for new homes I don't believe is the solution. Reigning in buying homes and renting them as an industry needs to be handled
@96SPRLYConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, only if the location of these homes has the infrastructure to support it.
@8VMD4G74yrs4Y
Do we need more houses if yes than yes we should if no thanks no we shouldn’t. We shouldn’t take from the land and use what we don’t need.
