Housing, infrastructure and platforms on Day 18 of the federal election campaign.
Speaking in Montreal on Wednesday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party is dedicated to fighting the housing crisis which forces young people to leave home.
“Leaving the place where they have family, friends and connections to go somewhere else because they can’t afford to stay. That has to stop,” Singh said.
The leader of Conservative party, Erin O’Tooole, said his party will scrap the Canada Infrastructure Bank and unlock money to get infrastructure projects built.
“We’ll review the ‘Investing in Canada’ plan and other infrastructure programs to make sure they work for local priorities, for our municipalities and First Nations communities,” O’Toole said.
Justin Trudeau laid out the 82-page Liberal party platform in Toronto.
“We’ll make sure you can find a family doctor or a family health team and while we’re at it we’ll make a historic dedicated investment in mental health care because mental health is health and
it’s time it was treated that way,” Trudeau said.
The platform also focuses on helping businesses getting back on their feet after lockdowns.
