Before I begin, I would like to say a few words about the Canadian economy. In October, inflation was at two per cent. That means that for 10 months now, inflation has been within the Bank of Canada’s target range. That’s good news for Canadians. Because of that, interest rates are coming down. Canada was the first G7 country to cut interest rates four times, and that’s also good news for Canadians and Canadian business owners.

We are making it easier for homeowners to add secondary suites, rental apartments, in-law suites, laneway homes. Today we are announcing we are doubling the loan limit for the Canada Secondary Suite Loan Program to $80,000. This program offers 15-year loan terms at just two per cent. That makes it easier for homeowners to add a secondary suite. It’s going to be administered by CMHC and it will launch in early 2025.

Inflation was two per cent in October. This means that inflation has been within the Bank of Canada’s target range for the past ten months, or the entire year. Notably, interest rates have already declined four times, and Canada was the first G7 country to cut interest rates.
