Liberal housing plan receives widespread support
On the campaign trail, Mark Carney announced that a new Liberal government would build more homes that Canadians can afford, with Canada’s most ambitious housing plan since the Second World War.
The plan has received widespread support:
“This is a serious reinvestment in affordable housing & a major step forward.” - Carole Saab, CEO of the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities“...I just have to say that Mark Carney is making commitments on housing more substantial than I would have expected…Not much to say other than WOW.” - Eric Lombardi, affordable housing advocate
“We're glad the Liberal Party's housing plan reflects the seriousness of this challenge, by committing to partner with all levels of government to halve development charges.” - Canadian Federation of Apartment Associations
“Mark Carney has the experience and the knowledge to execute a real plan focusing on driving new affordable housing supply that city builders like myself have been waiting to see for a very long time.” - Jennifer Keesmaat, former Chief City Planner for the City of Toronto
“..some good ideas (government land, public builder, construction innovation) that need an emphasis on long term low rate financing to ensure low and moderate income affordability.” - Carolyn Whitzman, Senior housing researcher, University of Toronto School of Cities
“A major reinvestment in affordable housing—paired with new tools to build smarter and faster—represents a big step forward.” - Federation of Canadian Municipalities
“Our Liberal housing plan will get the government back in the business of building, cut red tape and make it easier to build, and cut taxes for first-time home buyers,” said Mark Carney, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. “We’ve overcome a housing crisis before — we’ll do it again.”
A Mark Carney-led government will stand strong against President Trump’s tariffs, create new jobs, cut taxes for the middle class, and build the fastest growing economy in the G7. Liberals will build Canada strong.
