What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
After making the rounds at the Juno Awards ceremony in Hamilton, Ont., last night, Prime Minister Mark Carney heads to Toronto, where he’s booked in for a mid-morning tête-à-tête with Ontario Premier Doug Ford before unveiling what his office describes as “new measures to accelerate homebuilding.” (11 a.m.)
Although the advisory offers no additional information on the announcement, it comes just days after the Toronto Star reported that Ford and Carney would be “extending the 13 per cent harmonized sales tax break on new houses and condos to everyone, not just first-time home buyers” in a bid to “jolt the housing construction market and boost affordability for families,” the paper notes.
