This goes back to what Mr. Finlayson and I were talking about with the shift from property taxes to building taxes, effectively, whether it's GST, development cost levies, development cost charges or community amenity contributions—all of the many headings under which there are a lot of taxes on new housing. I think there has been this idea that increasing property taxes has been a third rail of politics, and it simply can't be done.
Given how bad things have gotten and how poorly incumbents have done by following that logic, I'd encourage you to think that it's actually not the case. Shifting all of the cost on to new people, on to young people and on to builders and then not taxing incumbents at all has not been a hugely successful strategy for incumbents.
What can be done at the federal level given that it is provincial contributions? Again, as I said in my introductory remarks, I think tying that kind of a tax shift to housing accelerator funding in the future is something that could be considered, because the provinces and municipalities are not using their tax bases to contribute. They're asking you, at the federal level, to effectively raise income taxes and corporate taxes to fund these kinds of things, and they're begging when they're not using their own tax base on the gigantic amount of property wealth that's out there.
