Ottawa and the province are setting up a $5-billion fund that municipalities can tap into to pay for new homes, and the infrastructure and transit needed to keep up with growing communities.

But there are strings attached.

Municipalities must lower the fees that developers pay to local governments, which the prime minister and British Columbia's premier say can hinder new construction.
