Building more affordable homes, faster

Building more affordable homes, faster

November 1, 2023

We know that it's getting harder and harder for Canadians to own a home, and that's why our Liberal team is taking bold steps to build more affordable homes - faster.

So here's what we're doing:

  • Fast-tracking more homes for Canadians by removing the federal GST on the construction of rental apartment buildings.
  • Helping Canadians buy their first home by delivering on key priorities like doubling the First Time Home Buyers' Tax Credit, and introducing a Tax-Free First Home Savings Account to help first-time home buyers save up to $40,000 toward their first home.
  • Protecting renters and buyers by moving forward on a Home Buyers' Bill of Rights and ensuring housing is for Canadians, not big corporations.
  • Banning foreign buyers and cracking down on speculation, ensuring Canadians have more access to purchasing homes.
  • Collaborating with all orders of government to create more affordable and convenient housing, including near public transit, across communities in Canada.

And here's the result:
