Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he 'could have' and 'should have' moved faster on making affordable housing a priority for his government — an insight that comes as his government faces the worst polling it's seen since coming to power.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks to Front Burner host Jayme Poisson on Sept. 18, 2023 in Ottawa.
The housing market crunch has been a persistent point of vulnerability for the Liberals over the summer. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has blamed Trudeau's government for a range of problems facing Canadians post-pandemic, including ballooning rents and a shortage of housing.
"If we hadn't got the federal government back into the business of housing, then everything would be much worse right now," he said, alluding to the government's National Housing Strategy. Trudeau announced new measures last week aimed at countering rising housing prices — and at fending off claims that his government has been missing in action on the issue.
