Is it fair to to tell Canadians realistically the increases that you’re driving in Supply will not affect affordability for a decade or so uh it it’ll depend on the individual Market but keep in mind the cmhc numbers contemplate achieving a level of affordability that hasn’t existed for uh
More than two decades now so what level of affordability does your government want to achieve and I think that’s a reasonable goal because you uh started to see a change and you look a little bit more recently sort of 2008 2009 where Canada was separated from the rest
Of the uh the pack internationally uh but everything we do until we reach that level of affordability is going to bring us closer to that level of affordability it’s not as though we wake up one morning and home prices are suddenly radically different uh over time compared to a person’s incomes uh we
Hope to uh achieve a level of uh uh whether it’s a rent or purchase price that people can afford

The NDP liberal coalition is corrupt and should all be jailed for how poorly they’ve run the country. This is one of the richest countries in the world run by idiots.
This minster had two cabinet seats and doesn’t know what he is doing
The market WILL fix this but it will not happen over night. BTW a change in government will do NOTHING to change this or make it happen sooner.
Because it will take forever. Poo poo is not the solution.
Awesome some one else on the Liberal party that says so many words without saying anything
It will be way faster when Pierre takes office
Start deporting non productive Canadians. Everyone needs to pull their weight, we have too much welfare going on. End big government.
Guys a tool
Housing would never be affordable. It is a form of taxation. Think of it this way. You will understand the problem.
Word salad! Liberal specialty.
?
Vote For Pierre Pollivere are New Priminister.
All these housing announcements are window dressing, trying to stem the legitimate anger at mass immigration.
The guy who failed as immigration minister flooding Canada with new immigrates now in charge of getting affordable housing lol.
Keep in mind that it was the Harper government that saw the loss of 800,000 affordable homes. The Conservatives axed the co-op housing program and helped create the current housing crisis for Canadian renters and homeowners.
Trudeau Liberals trying to handle housing market is like bringing the Mercedes Benz car prices down to Honda Civic price. Go figure!
Another non-answer from the Liberal Minister that increased demand resulting in a housing crisis, rewarded by throwing money at a crisis he created!
And these liberals created all of this .
Omg painful
This guy is just like his leader- a real taint.
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.
?
This guy is such a tool.
In other words, it ain’t gonna happen. They’ve screwed the market up and they know it can’t be fixed
that was a word salad but what he's saying is, the bank robber has the money but we're going to force him to walk during his get away.
I'm sure no one respects this loser.
A normal person that hears that kind of garbage would never vote for the government that put him in a position of power.
You know the news Justin Trudeau just appeared on Jeffrey Epstein's Island flight logs.
Hail Trudeau
If canada had not colonized slave workers for the last 20 years, all houses would be affordable
Huh???
What a bumbling fool
Did he just say we were ahead of the pack under Harper lol
With all due respect, Minister, I believe your statement may potentially sway the undecided voters away. The urgency for housing in Canada is palpable. A drastic measure such as destabilizing the housing market and reclaiming homes from investors appears to be the only viable solution at this juncture.
Stop out of control immigration, increase housing supply and quit handing out our money to foreign countries.
Also, reduce interest rates slowly.
What a punk!
Wow … this guy talks like a crook and …
looks like one too..
Bonehead…
It was affordable in 2008
Retardation from Liberal indoctrination
Just another one of Justin's appointed failures.
Fraiser..
Vacancy.. tax billing home owners to pay taxes with no proof the house is vacant. ??????. The city Toronto get a life.
Liberalism is a mental illness
Wow how about an answer ?
Talk about Liberal delusion
Ask him for a direct answer
how anyone believes anything this Liberal NDP coalition sais is mind boggling
Why won't a Liberal minister just answer a question.
