Finally the Federal and Provincial governments get it, no matter how many affordable housing projects a programs they fund they will never fix the affordability and vacancy crisis until they legislate a change to Municipal Councils and Planning Departments.
They need to legislate that they must approve Multi Family projects when the vacancy rate in thier Municipality is below 4%.
If they did this one thing the rental and affordability crisis would be solved in 10 years or less and would be sustainable.
