Housing Minister Sean Fraser was pressed during a Commons committee meeting to review the mandate of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) amid rampant nationwide affordability struggles in light of its executives’ large bonuses.

“Can you tell Canadians why officials at CMHC received almost $27 million in bonuses? They have one job: making housing affordable for all,” Conservative MP Andrew Scheer asked Mr. Fraser during a Sept. 27 meeting of the housing committee.
