Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized a plan by the Liberal government and the B.C. provincial government to purchase vacant condo units in the province for use as affordable housing, calling the measure a “bailout.”

During a news conference at the Vancouver International Airport on June 21, Poilievre said that for young Canadians, home ownership is out of reach due to a decade of inflation.
