- Poilievre urges the Liberals to remove the federal sales tax on homes priced $1.3 million or less and to speed up municipal permits and reduce development charges.
- A Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation report states Toronto faces its lowest housing starts in 30 years, while construction has slowed in Vancouver but remained near record pace in several other cities.
- Poilievre and the report imply that immigration control is needed as high newcomer numbers contributed to housing shortages and an expected slowdown in homebuilding.
