Mr. Speaker, Conservatives would cut the GST on new homes. The reviews are in and the plan is a blockbuster. Members should listen to this.
The Canadian Home Builders' Association says, “Today’s announcement by the Conservative Party...will make a big difference”. The West End Home Builders Association says, “Removing the GST for new homes purchased for under $1 million may be the most significant housing policy...in the past two decades.” The Canadian Real Estate Association says, “This proposed step is a positive move toward lowering building costs, increasing housing supply, and making homeownership more attainable”.
Mike Moffatt, the Prime Minister's housing adviser, says, “WOW.... I admire the boldness here. This will get more housing built.” Max Fawcett, a columnist, says, “Big announcement. [The Conservative] team understands how to reach and activate young voters way better than the Liberals or the NDP right now.”
Indeed, the NDP-Liberals are going to increase taxes. We will axe the tax and build the homes.
