OTTAWA — Housing Minister Sean Fraser says the federal government will reveal more housing measures in the fall budget update and in the coming months.
In a news conference on Monday, he also weighed in on how the federal government can address the strain short-term rentals are putting on housing affordability.
Some of the measures that are expected include tying federal infrastructure spending to housing outcomes in local communities. Fraser also said there will be more policies geared toward increasing the stock of social housing, and increasing workers' skills and innovation in the construction industry.
Last week, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland applauded the B.C. government for going after short-term rentals and said the federal government was looking at what it can do to help make more of these units available as long-term rentals. "We could potentially leverage federal programs, include taxation, include the federal spending power to incentivize other kinds of behaviour," he said, but added that no decisions have been made yet.
