Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to make an announcement regarding housing affordability in Saint John, N.B., on Wednesday.
The federal and Atlantic provinces’ housing ministers have been discussing ways to boost more factory-built housing for the East Coast, as the region’s population keeps rising at a rapid pace.
On Monday, following a meeting in Halifax, the ministers announced that a new chapter would be added to the federal housing design catalogue. The chapter will be specifically tailored to the Atlantic region, considering the region’s regulations, climate, and available materials. The pre-approved designs will provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution for housing in the area.
In response to increased criticism over the high cost of living, which is partly caused by rising home prices and rents, Ottawa has turned to factory-built housing as a solution. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has estimated that by 2030, an additional 3.5 million housing units will be required to begin addressing the issue of housing affordability.

what a bunch of bull sh t
What! Thought Trudeau was with his pal Klaus..in Davos or was this pre recorded!!
Canada's doing so great that the government needs to build houses on the east coast. If that doesn't sound like pandering one can only wonder what does.
his wife must feel so free from lies and coruption
Booooooooooo
Nobody cares what he says! Stop reporting on him.
Sounds pretty empty there – I'm hearing an echo ?
He should announce this from Jamaica
more bull from trudeau
What a joke.
Saint John always had a sulfur smell from the pulp and paper plant. When Trudeau comes to town, the smell of sulfur doubles. ?
If you were announcing these and similar initiatives THROUGHOUT the Country Everywhere maybe just maybe we could make a dent in our housing crisis.
As it stands it really looks as if you just care about your personal constituents.
Abhorrent yes but not exactly shocking.
Just par for the course.
it is not unceded territory it is Canadain territory
He should announce his resignation
"Federal Housing Design Catalogue" Lets just call them Trudeau Boxes. Soviet apartment blocks will begin to scatter the country. No unique style, design or character.
Only time anything gets done is when they “suck-up” for votes
How did Trudeau crawl out from under his rock?
I think you need another vacation paid by the tax payers. I haven’t been able to since 2015 but we got this.
Put him in jail
Amazing how no one has anything nice to say about him except for the LIBERAL MP he has announcing him, who likely has no choice but to be nice.
Nobody believes the weak failure, it's just more empty words coming out of his corrupt empty head.
wow here he goes again spending money we don't have Spring election Please
True doe needs to go! He was not elected he was installed.
OMG!! Trudeau is spending lots of money! Regardless of what the problem is he just throws money at it and tries to pay his way out. He is so incompetent.
What a useless talker. He only seems to be able to speak a few word and then he says "UH" "OH" "AAH" So frustrating listening to him.
If they build like they run the country the building will fall down
