to bolster his Liberal party’s position of support for a national housing crisis, but the Alberta government says he’s overstepping his federal jurisdiction.
“We have 355 municipalities that all have different degrees of pressure, because of the need for housing, and yet with the federal government choosing who they have political relationships within granting or making grants on that basis, it's very political, and it doesn't meet the needs,” Smith said.
That criteria includes adopting upcoming changes to the national building code to create"accessible, affordable and climate-friendly housing options," according to a federal government news release. “So we created a $4.4 billion housing accelerator program that actually says to cities, if you are ambitious about building housing, if you agree to four units as of right, things like four storeys as of right, increased densification around transit, we will be there to give you this money,” Trudeau said.
“Knowing that we have natural gas as the base fuel for heat, that natural gas remains the base fuel for our electricity,” Smith said. “We’re in the best position to make sure that we can get funds distributed across the province in a way that can help all of the province. We continue to see disproportionate amounts of investment primarily in both Calgary and Edmonton who need it,” said Nixon.
She commented as well on Trudeau aiming to walk back his previous comments on the federal government lacking responsibility for housing initiatives. “At today’s photo op, he announced a ‘new’ program on innovation when a similar program already exists and re-announced two other existing programs. All of these are his existing policies that have contributed to the doubling of the cost of housing.
