  4. Make Housing More Affordable: Unlock public-private partnerships, modernize the housing sector, and expand opportunities in the skilled trades.

  6. Attract Top Global Talent with Sustainable Immigration: Bring in the world’s best and brightest to grow our economy, while restoring immigration levels to sustainable targets.

  7. Spend Smarter, Govern Better: Cut back on government overhead to allow Canadians to invest in people, innovation, and businesses that will power the strongest economy in the G7.
