Carney’s new housing agency will have ‘modest’ impact, says PBO
  • A report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) indicates that the newly established federal agency, Build Canada Homes (BCH), is expected to have a 'modest' impact on alleviating Canada's ongoing housing crisis. The agency was created in September to address housing shortages in the country.
  • This development is significant as it highlights the challenges Canada faces in resolving its housing issues, suggesting that while BCH aims to contribute positively, its effectiveness may be limited in the broader context of the housing market.
