NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says federal Liberals have done an ‘abysmal’ job dealing with the housing crisis
The federal government needs to issue another $500 benefit payment for low-income families struggling to keep a roof over their heads, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday.
The first $500 top-up, which was announced in September 2022 alongside a temporary boost to the GST rebate, was rolled out just before Christmas. It cost the government $475 million. Singh said the “housing acquisition fund” would “prevent us from losing the affordable homes that we do have.” The Liberals have said housing is their chief priority right now, as millions of Canadians face rising rents and increased mortgage costs on top of a housing market that has seen house prices soar in the last few years.
