Clark expresses concern over Poilievre plans to cancel federal housing accelerator fund

Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark raised concerns about proposed removal of the Housing Accelerator Fund, noting plans are already in place.

With around two weeks left as Saskatoon mayor, Charlie Clark is expressing concern that a plan by Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre to cancel the federal Housing Accelerator Fund if he becomes prime minister would negatively affect housing units already planned for the city.

Poilievre’s Axe the Sales Tax on Homes plan would cancel the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) in favour of removing the sales tax on new homes valued under $1 million.
