UDI Lower Mainland submission to Department of Finance Canada.

To make real progress on affordability, the federal government must enable – not replace – the private sector. By restoring investment flows, modernizing regulations, and aligning all levels of government on supply-focused outcomes, Canada can reverse the housing market’s decline, safeguard jobs, and ensure the delivery of much needed homes. UDI supports several recent proposals from the Canadian Homebuilders’ Council and highlights the following priority measures:

• Support market rate rental housing;
• Unlock private investment in new housing supply;
• Contain costs through building code;
• GST rebate reform; and
• Tie federal funding to municipal reform.

UDI's corresponding recommendations can be reviewed in the full letter.
