NDP slams Liberals for stalling on measures to tame hot housing markets

It's hard to fix multiple housing markets with 'one-size fits all' policy levers, says Vaughan.

NDP MP Jenny Kwan (left) is urging the Liberal government to do more to crack down on housing tax cheats and increase the stock of affordable housing to tamper surging prices in the Vancouver and Toronto regions. Liberal MP Adam Vaughan (right) says the Trudeau government did more for affordable housing in its 2016 budget than anything seen over the decade of Conservative rule.
