The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Commission (CMHC), a Crown corporation, said that it must “do better” to improve the affordable housing situation after data shows one initiative resulted in just 12 homes in eight years.
The remark came during a Senate committee meeting on Oct. 26 where Sen. Pamela Wallin questioned Neil Levesque, vice president of operations for CMHC, about a program where Crown land was used to build homes.
