Canadian Leaders Meet to Announce New Housing Construction Plans
加拿大領導人會晤，宣佈新建住房計劃
In a major effort to combat the national housing crisis, the Canadian government has shifted from a funding-only model to an active construction strategy.
為了應對全國住屋危機，加拿大政府已從單純的資金補助模式轉向主動的營建策略。
Led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, the government launched the Build Canada Homes agency in late 2025.
在總理馬克·卡尼（ㄇㄚˇㄎㄜˋㄎㄚㄋㄧˊ）的領導下，政府於2025年底成立了「加拿大建屋局」（Build Canada Homes）。
CEO Ana Bailão oversees this initiative, which uses a $13 billion budget to fast-track affordable housing through innovative methods like modular construction and the utilization of federal land.
執行長安娜·拜朗（ㄢㄋㄚˋㄅㄞˋㄌㄤˊ）負責督導此計畫，該計畫運用130億美元的預算，透過模組化建築與聯邦土地利用等創新方式，加速推動平價住宅。
Projects are currently underway in six major cities, including Ottawa and Toronto, with plans to potentially scale up to 45,000 units.
目前，奧克拉荷馬（ㄠˋㄎㄜㄌㄚㄏㄜㄇㄚˇ）與多倫多（ㄉㄨㄛㄌㄨㄣˊㄉㄨㄛ）等六個主要城市已展開相關專案，並計畫將規模擴大至四萬五千個單位。
To further support these goals, March 2026 saw the introduction of Bill C-26, which provides $1.7 billion to help provinces reduce development fees and regulatory bottlenecks.
為進一步支持這些目標，2026年3月推出了「C-26法案」（Bill C-26），撥款17億美元協助各省減少開發費用與法規瓶頸。
As population growth continues to drive demand, the success of these programs—alongside existing frameworks like the Apartment Construction Loan Program—remains a central pillar of Canada's economic and political agenda.
隨著人口成長持續推升需求，這些計畫的成功，連同既有的「公寓建設貸款計畫」（Apartment Construction Loan Program）等架構，仍是加拿大經濟與政治議程的核心支柱。
