What the NDP would do for our industry

The NDP has had little to say about the homebuilding and renovation industry directly except to address energy savings and social housing:

*Invest in provincial, territorial and municipal home energy programs to retrofit 50,000 homes and 15,000 apartment units to lower energy bills ($200 million over 4 years).

*Tax breaks to kick-start the construction of 10,000 new affordable rental units, both in the private sector and with social housing, and renewal of funding agreements for co-operative housing across the country to address housing affordability.

*Work with provinces to create a ‘new fund’ to help Canadians retrofit their residences and thus retain value in existing homes.What
