Trudeau and Ford meet to discuss new housing initiatives
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford frequently meet to discuss the ongoing housing crisis.
Housing is primarily a provincial responsibility, but the federal government uses the National Housing Strategy (NHS) to influence policy through funding.
A recent point of contention involves the federal government linking infrastructure grants to policies like allowing fourplexes, which Premier Ford has resisted as overreach.
Negotiations also cover the strain of supporting asylum seekers and meeting construction targets.
For Canadians, the effectiveness of these discussions remains critical as they struggle to enter the housing market.
