This is the best summary I could come up with:
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre released Thursday a housing plan he said would fast-track the construction of new homes in Canada as the country grapples with an acute shortage of affordable places to live.
Poilievre said that after eight years in government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have failed to stimulate the construction of enough homes to meet demand — a situation that has made young people increasingly disillusioned about their financial futures.
Under the Liberal plan — which is designed to reward cities that build more homes faster by clearing roadblocks to construction — local governments must apply for funding; they don't get money automatically.
Trudeau said he's hoping the provinces will follow suit by dropping the PST in their jurisdictions — a tax break that could encourage builders to prioritize building new apartments over condos.
With Poilievre riding high in the polls after spending the summer focusing on affordability issues, the Liberal government is trying to roll out a plan of its own to respond to voters' cost-of-living anxiety.
"Let's not pretend we're playing behind the Conservatives who are finally starting to talk about the things we've been campaigning on actively for the last two election cycles," Fraser said at the cabinet's recent retreat in Charlottetown.
