The construction of rental housing has stalled for a while now. This is due to builders preferring to build either office space or condos. So, there is a need to boost the construction of rental housing.

Poilievre's ideas seem to be of the carrot and stick mentality, with an emphasis on the stick. I don't see that as being a solution to getting more rental housing built. Instead, it likely would end up further frustrating the construction of rental housing.
