OTTAWA — Five Conservative MPs have written letters to the Liberal housing minister asking him to grant their communities funding from a program that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre this week called disastrous and promised to cancel.
Housing Minister Sean Fraser made the revelation in the House of Commons Tuesday while responding to a question from Poilievre.
The Conservative MPs asked Fraser to approve their communities' applications to access the housing accelerator fund, a program that invited municipalities to compete for a pool of money based on the ambitiousness of their plans to build more housing. Cooper asked the minister to approve an application from St. Albert, Alta. to build a mixed affordability housing project.
He said the town is"prepared to consider any recommendations or conditions the government may encourage to improve their chances of a successful application."
