The federal government insists it remains committed to doubling Canada’s home construction rate over the next decade, despite the target being omitted from Budget 2026, which instead proposes tripling non-market housing construction to 24,000 units annually. The budget includes an additional $13 billion over 10 years for Build Canada Homes, but critics accuse the Liberals of abandoning their broader housing pledge, while experts question whether the original goal of 500,000 annual housing starts was realistic. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation warns that current construction levels remain insufficient to restore affordability by 2036.
