That's 3 times what is being put into a federal housing program and AI already has people falling all over themselves to invest.

This week, we announced a $15 billion top-up to the Apartment Construction Loan Program, a new $6 billion Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund, a new $1.5 billion Canada Rental Protection Fund, and a $400 million top-up to the Housing Accelerator Fund.

Mea culpa.
