All three major federal parties have a lot to say about housing in their platforms, historically a relatively novel occurrence in Canadian elections. The Liberal housing platform makes much ado about a proposed new crown corporation referred to as “Build Canada Homes,” which they say will act as a developer, particularly of modular homes. The NDP’s platform is not immune from the supply discourse, in particular with reference to permitting processes and municipal development regulations. Like many of the points in the NDP housing platform, the feasibility of relying on these measures would require support that isn’t articulated or accounted for in the party’s publications. All three parties propose stepping into municipal jurisdiction, implying to some extent that municipalities are to blame for the housing crisis.
