17 June 2019 - Why blow up a system that is mostly working and take on billions in new spending when there are so many other health priorities?
Housing is something that we expect a rich country like Canada can provide to its citizens. Most Canadians (about 95 per cent) have housing. Admittedly, some have homes that aren’t all that great. The vast majority, however, are relatively happy with their housing situation.
Most housing needs are funded privately through the employment benefits and earnings of Canadians. Sadly, though, a very small percentage of Canadians have no access to housing. The federal government has a solution: it will spend billions to provide housing to everyone.
