At the provincial level, we advocate for policies that will increase the supply of housing while making homeownership more affordable. Some examples of the housing affordability measures we advocate for include: reducing tax for homeowners and increasing tax incentives for first-time home buyers. We also actively engage on legislative and regulatory matters such as advertising, licensing, education and regulatory requirements with member input.
Some recent successes include:
Quebec Finance Minister, Carlos J. Leitão, announced in the 2016-2017 budget its intention to carry out an in-depth reform of the financial sector.
Mortgage Professionals Canada Welcomes BC Government's Initiative to Help First-time Homebuyers
Report commissioned by the Ministry of Finance reviewing the mandates of FSCO, DICO and the FST released.
We addressed a letter to Terry Kirkham, MSC Registrar, requesting a meeting to discuss a number of issues and concerns.
