Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his government would increase Canada’s housing supply by 2.3 million homes over the next five years through a combination of measures announced throughout the election campaign.
The Conservatives plan to complete 305,000 housing starts in the first year of governing, 352,000 in the second year, 405,000 in the third, 465,000 in the fourth, and 535,000 in the fifth. Additionally, the Tories project that selling off federal lands in cities will result in 288,000 housing starts.
“When you add it all up, it gets you 2.3 million homes for Canadians in five years; for the young Canadian trapped in your parents’ basement, for the renter unable to save up for a down payment, for the senior worried about eviction after rents have skyrocketed,” Poilievre said during a campaign event in Scarborough, Ont., on April 21.
