Mr. Speaker, last fall, the government gave an HST exemption to for-profit developers of rental units to help address the housing crisis but left out non-profit affordable home ownership builders like Habitat for Humanity. In my community, Habitat's Kehl Street build would have had an extra million for affordable units had this been in place. The federal government could pay for it by ending tax exemptions for large corporate investors that buy up existing units and raise rents.
Will the government include this important measure in the fall economic statement?
