👉A recent Leger poll for OMNI news highlighted how 83% of surveyed newcomers in Canada feel affordability challenges are hindering their settlement. Statistics Canada's study revealed that over a third of recent arrivals spend over a third of their income on rent. On February 6th, the federal government introduced measures to enhance affordability. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced an additional $99 million to the Canada Housing Benefit, aiming to make rent more manageable. Other initiatives include the $4 billion Housing Accelerator Fund and the Tax-Free Home Savings Account for first-time homebuyers. Minister François-Phillipe Champagne announced increased funding for research into corporate practices affecting grocery prices, focusing on "shrinkflation" and "skimpflation."✅ .

👉Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a series of new measures to address growing concerns over the rising cost of housing and groceries in Canada. These initiatives were revealed following a Liberal caucus meeting in London, Ontario, during which government challenges and declining political support were discussed. Trudeau's plan includes removing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from the construction of new rental apartments to stimulate development and requiring municipalities to revise exclusionary zoning policies to access housing funds. Additionally, major grocery retailers have been urged to develop short-term plans to stabilize food prices. Trudeau cautioned that if these plans aren't presented by Thanksgiving, the government is prepared to consider further actions, including potential tax measures.✅ . . #TrudeauAnnouncement #HousingAffordability #GroceryPriceStabilization #CanadianEconomy #GSTRemoval #GovernmentInitiatives #CostOfLiving #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
