Provinces ‘hold the key’ to unlocking homebuilding, new report argues

  • On May 29, 2025, an independent group established in 2023 released a report assessing provincial housing policies throughout Canada.
  • The report highlights provinces’ central role in housing due to their policy control, noting they have done less compared to federal and municipal efforts already underway.
  • No province earned above a C+, with British Columbia, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island scoring highest and Alberta ranking lowest with a D+, reflecting gaps including slow permits and lack of provincial responsibility in development charges.
  • Mike Moffatt emphasized that provincial governments play a crucial role in addressing the housing crisis, noting they possess the greatest range of policy options but have often been the least active. He also called for stronger mechanisms to enforce federal housing funds and improvements in provincial-level policies.
  • The report implies provinces must take greater responsibility for sustainable, affordable housing development and social housing gaps to address the ongoing crisis effectively.
