In addition to the ban, Trudeau said he would expand the upcoming tax on vacant housing owned by non-resident and non-Canadians to include foreign-owned vacant land in large urban areas. The Liberals also would impose an "anti-flipping tax" on residential properties, which would require that properties either be held for at least 12 months or face burdensome taxes.
Asked today if the new measures amount to an admission that the existing national housing strategy has not delivered as promised, Trudeau said that while the government's plan helped to expand the pool of affordable housing for thousands of people and cut down on chronic homelessness, it's obvious more needs to be done.
That's wrong," Trudeau said. Trudeau took a swipe at Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole's housing plan , which commits to building one million new homes over three years while easing mortgage requirements and making more federal land available for development. Trudeau said the Conservatives will "do what they always do, give the biggest breaks to the wealthiest few" — a reference to O'Toole's platform commitment to create incentives for Canadians who invest in rental housing by making tweaks to the capital gains tax regime.
The Conservatives maintain the housing "crisis" is driven by a shortage of supply and say programs that encourage people and companies to build more rental units will help alleviate the problem.
At the end of the day, this is about you," Trudeau said. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, O'Toole said he won't take lessons from Trudeau on housing. Trudeau's had six years and he's failed.
The housing crisis has exploded in the last three, four years under his leadership," O'Toole said. They deserve a plan. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was equally critical, saying the situation has only gotten worse in the last six years under Trudeau. Renting has become more expensive. We can't handle another four years of this," Singh said at a campaign stop in Mississauga, Ont. The NDP's housing platform is focused on renters.
The party maintains that the Liberals have "neglected" Canadians who don't own a home and existing programs are "too small to make a real difference for most Canadians. Singh has said a government led by him would free up federal lands for these sort of projects, turning unused and under-used properties into "vibrant new communities. For homebuyers, the NDP would reintroduce year terms for insured mortgages on entry-level homes.
They also promise to slap a 20 per cent foreign buyers' tax on homes sold to people who aren't Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
