Speaking in Kitchener, Ont., on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the construction of nearly 17,000 new homes to assist with the housing crisis – a majority to be affordable housing units, he added. This is part of the government’s $2 billion in spending to fix the country’s housing supply, and is part of the Liberals’ “Rapid Housing Initiative” to “quickly deliver permanent housing for vulnerable people.”
