The Canada housing infrastructure fund was announced in budget 2024, but the public accounts show that little or no spending occurred during the 2024 fiscal year. We know it was operationalized through the BIA, so there's no excuse for that.
When municipalities like Haldimand—Norfolk are facing immediate infrastructure challenges and constraints that are blocking housing construction, we have to ask, why did it take more than a year for this fund to get up and running?
