Petition to the Government of Canada
  
    Whereas:
    
      
        The price of the average home in Canada has nearly doubled in the last eight years from $454,976 to $729,000;
        The cost to rent a one-bedroom apartment has doubled from $973 to $1861;
        The average mortgage payment more than doubled from $1418 to $3357 since 2015;
        Canada is projected to need an additional 5.8 million new homes to solve the housing affordability crisis; and
        The rate of new home construction has declined through 2023.
      
    
    Therefore, we, the undersigned citizens of Canada, call upon the Prime Minister to:
    
      
        Ensure all federal infrastructure funds given to cities supports increased home construction;
        End the wasteful spending that is fueling inflation and the cost-of-living crisis; and
        Confront the bureaucrats and gatekeepers that prevent new housing construction.
