Thank you.
Audrey-Anne Coulombe, a spokeswoman, was quoted as saying, “The objective is to identify solutions that could level the playing field between renters and owners.”
Unfortunately, these sorts of statements don't acknowledge that homeowners pay a huge portion of their income in taxes to three levels of government before they can even save for a down payment. There's no acknowledgement of the cost of owning a home, such as maintenance, repairs and insurance, let alone any renovations that enhance the value of the property.
Do you think Canadians who take on the risk and responsibility of home ownership should be penalized for doing all that hard work?
