Under the proposed framework, cities that surpass 15% annual homebuilding milestones would receive substantial infrastructure bonuses, while non-compliant jurisdictions would see federal transfers withheld.
"We need to remove bureaucratic gatekeepers and build homes people can afford," Poilievre emphasized.
