Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution, Regulation
- CHRA believes the federal government should put in place tax reforms and measures that will support the development of market rental housing. There are a number of options that the federal government could use in order to do so, including the reinstatement of the ability of developers of rental property to defer capital gains tax if they reinvest in another rental property.
