Freeland Dismisses Concerns Housing Plan Unrealistic or Unsafe
As the federal government looks to spend billions to increase the supply of housing across the country, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland dismissed concerns that the ambitious building program was unrealistic or unsafe.
Ms. Freeland spoke to reporters in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, on April 23 and was asked about how the federal government expects to build 10,000 homes in Newfoundland and Labrador per year when the province’s home builders association has claimed that in the best year of construction, just 3,300 homes were built.
