Feds to take steps on housing promises ahead of cabinet retreat in Halifax
HALIFAX – Housing Minister Sean Fraser is expected to unveil details on a Liberal promise to lease federal land to developers to build affordable housing on Sunday just before the full federal cabinet kicks off a three-day retreat in Halifax.
The annual end-of-summer cabinet session comes three weeks before Parliament returns for the fall sitting and is likely the last summer retreat for this cabinet before the next election.
It may be the last real chance this government has to reset itself with voters before asking them for another mandate.
