Housing Minister Sean Fraser says at least a dozen Tory MPs have written to his office asking him to approve their communities’ applications to access the housing accelerator fund
A number of Conservative MPs have written letters to the Liberal housing minister asking him to grant their communities funding from a program that Conservative LeaderHousing Minister Sean Fraser made the revelation in the House of Commons Tuesday while responding to a question from Poilievre.
He attacked the housing accelerator fund during a news conference, calling it a “disastrous program that has led to less homebuilding and more local bureaucracies.” In a letter sent in January, Moore vouched for the application of Butternut Valley, N.B., which he said “will provide much needed housing in this area.”
In a statement to The Canadian Press, Poilievre’s spokesman Sebastian Skamski said the Conservative plan to eliminate the GST on new homes under $1 million would “spark 30,000 extra homes per year,” reduce purchase prices by up to $50,000 and cut mortgage payments by almost $3,000 a year.
