Carney Defends Housing Plan

Prime Minister Mark Carney is rallying behind a bold new housing plan: federal and provincial governments will buy over 2,200 vacant BC condos and convert them into affordable homes—especially for young families struggling with down payments. The initiative, born in BC, not as a bailout but as a direct response to affordability, includes a rent-to-buy option to help residents build equity. Carney admits the rollout’s messaging was unclear, but insists this faster, smarter approach—purchasing units at discount rates—will deliver real results quicker than new construction. With federal funding covering 10% of the $1.45 billion cost, the plan aims to make housing accessible while letting the economics speak for themselves.
