Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland makes her way to a meeting of the Liberal caucus in West Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, on Jan. 23.The former finance minister made the promise in a 10-point policy document her campaign issued Monday morning. Freeland said the move would slow down population growth until housing affordability stabilizes.
Poilievre made a similar proposal to tie federal transfers to municipalities to the number of housing starts they report. Freeland has said that if she wins the Liberal leadership and becomes prime minister, she also will ban the practice of landlords using artificial intelligence to analyze a renter’s personal information in order to set rents.
