On October 6, CHRA worked with a coalition of housing organizations to host the first ever National Housing Debate in Ottawa. Adam Vaughan (Liberal), Pierre Poilievre (Conservative), Angella MacEwan (NDP), Geneviève Nadeau (Bloc Quebecois), and Angela Keller-Herzog (Green Party) discussed a range of issues related to housing. The debate was moderated by Toronto Star columnist Heather Scoffield, La Presse Bureau Chief Joel-Denis Bellavance, and Canadian Press journalist and housing columnist Jordan Press.
CHRA thanks its co-hosts, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada, the Canadian Real Estate Association, and the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness for having made this event a success.
