Can Canada still build affordable homes?: Tim Sargent and Aled Ab Iorweth

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, where we discuss the most pressing policy issues shaping Canada.

In this episode, Tim Sargent, Director of the Domestic Program at MLI, is joined by Aled ab Iorweth, Deputy Chief Economist with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC,) a leading voice in housing policy and economics.

Together, they dive deep into the challenges facing Canada's housing market, from the impact of record-high immigration levels and shifting population trends, to the role of taxation policies and rising mortgage rates in reshaping affordability for homeowners and renters.

Iorweth provides valuable insights on the critical importance of municipal regulations, zoning laws, and construction in either enabling or hindering progress on the housing supply shortage. He also explores the complex, shared responsibility between federal, provincial, and local governments in addressing Canada's housing crisis.
