OTTAWA, Ont. — Pierre Poilievre detailed a federal housing reform framework proposing that federal infrastructure funding be directly conditional on cities approving 15% more home construction annually.

"Young Canadians cannot buy a home because city hall bureaucrats block permits with endless delays and exorbitant fees," Poilievre argued in Ottawa.
