I have been doing everything I can to make housing more affordable. To do this, we need to increase the supply of housing in Canada and for that to happen municipalities need to remove barriers to housing construction and speed up development approvals.

Today I joined PM Justin Trudeau, Minister of Housing Sean Fraser and MP colleagues in Toronto as the federal government announced $471 million in incentive payments to the City of Toronto to implement permanent steps that reduce barriers to housing supply and expedite development approvals.

This investment will fast-track the construction of thousands of new homes every year.
