BURNABY, B.C. — Housing Minister Sean Fraser says the federal government should have never got out of the housing business even as high-income professionals are struggling to find affordable housing.
"This is an absolutely incredible part of Canada, but it is dealing with an extraordinary problem," Fraser said. He said he couldn't pinpoint a reasonable price for a one-bedroom because people come from varied circumstances, but said people shouldn't have to pay more than 30 per cent of their income for a home.Building transit and housing near it, he said, will give people the opportunity to live and work in their communities.
