Housing dominated the debate on affordability among the leaders. Carney has promised to double housing construction, bringing the amount of homes built yearly to 500,000. The Liberal Party has said it will achieve this by creating a new agency called Build Canada Homes, cutting municipal development charges in half and invest more prefabricated and modular homes. Polievre has promised to build 15 per cent more homes each year, cut the goods and services tax on new homes up to $1.3 million and sell 15 per cent of federal buildings to be redeveloped for affordable housing. During the debate, Singh attacked both Poilievre and Carney’s credibility when it comes to solving the housing crisis. Singh pointed to Poilievre’s time as housing minister under former prime minister Stephen’s Harper’s last government, with Singh claiming he built just six homes. Poilievre interjected arguing 200,000 homes were built under his tenure and the average house price was $450,000. Singh also pointed to Carney’s ties to Brookfield Asset Management, an investment firm Singh argues has benefited from the housing crisis by driving up rents in the properties it owns.
