If we are to close the housing gap, it will be by providing affordable housing options that meet the various needs of Canadians.
I had a great discussion yesterday with the @CHRA_ACHRU about the lessons learned from previous approaches to this issue and the need to focus on serving Canadians, with housing that is not only affordable but spacious enough for families to grow and within communities that bring people together.
