The NHC has released its most recent report on scaling the non-market housing sector in Canada.

[The National Housing Council @EN_NHC]

While we are investing billions in transit infrastructure across B.C., outdated rules are slowing down the delivery of homes next to SkyTrain stations and major bus exchanges.

Homes near transit and services that people rely on.

Today, I introduced a Bill to fix this.
