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 Funding the building of new homes, but they can only be purchased or used by people born in Canada or a Canadian Citizen of ten years or more.
@9V529PY7mos7MO
No. Eliminate red-tape, zoning laws, and other inhibiting factors that make developments challenging and expensive.
@9MC4BQL11mos11MO
Only build if we need to, to be able to house everyone. Focus on rebuilding and repairing what we have instead.
@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
The government should fund more housing projects so low income, homeless people and even middle class people stuck renting have the ability to buy a cheap home. These homes should be tiny homes and use sustainable energy. Canada is short on housing so we should be spending way more money on building homes for people to stay. It would be great if they were sustainable and affordable and tiny houses are really cheap to make.
@8VZCTFD4yrs4Y
No because I want the borders closed, we already have more people then our infrastructure can handle, 1.4 million new homes means 1.4 million more problems for the current citizens trying to be happy in over populated areas.
@8VS786Q4yrs4Y
If the regulations regarding the home building industry are changed to adjust with this policy, then yes
@8VLBN8Z4yrs4Y
Only if there is 1.4 million people looking for houses.
@8VKZZ8P4yrs4Y
no. Fix the houses we already have.
@98ZMZSW2yrs2Y
We should retrofit empty office and retail spaces to be used for homeless and lower income housing.
@8VPNWS44yrs4Y
It depends on the fact that our carbon tax will raise the amount of money we will have in the governments' bank
@8VNLFJG4yrs4Y
Only if they can plan to lessen the environmental impact.
