Liberals Use Budget Bill To Legislate ‘Right To Housing’ In Canada

Jean-Yves Duclos speaks to media at the Hotel Grand Pacific in Victoria, B.C., on June 28, 2016.

The budget bill would set into law rules for the Liberals' 10-year national housing strategy, now valued at more than $55 billion, impose those rules on future governments and create two new oversight bodies meant to make sure the spending reduces homelessness. Reports would also be required every three years on how well the strategy is meeting national goals and furthering"the progressive realization of the right to adequate housing" — wording that mirrors international standards.

Letting the Liberal Party edit your articles is not journalism.

The article implies support where its absent: 'But Leilani Farha said her chief concern is that having an advocate 'hot-desking' at the human-rights commission and filing annual reports 'doesn't amount to human-rights accountability by any measure.'

The article here says clearly that the law rules - dont do anything - toothless pointless words on a paper with no effect on people or laws. And that is actually the point of the article, it is actually a criticism, wrecked by editor and headline writer. ItsJustAPromo

What next, everyone is guaranteed a job, clothing. This is very reminiscent of the Soviet Union
