Real change : Changer ensemble : le bon plan pour renforcer la classe moyenne

6 Oct 2015

CHAPTER 1: GROWTH FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS We will direct the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the new Canada Infrastructure Bank to provide financing to support the construction of new, affordable rental housing for middle- and low-income Canadians. [...] Where a lack of capital represents a barrier to projects, the Canada Infrastructure Bank will provide loan guarantees and small capital contributions to provinces and municipalities to ensure that the projects are built. [...] To help families make better food choices, we will: • introduce new restrictions on the commercial marketing of unhealthy food and beverages to children, similar to those now in place in Quebec; • bring in tougher regulations to eliminate trans fats, similar to those in the U. S., and to reduce salt in processed foods; and 20. [...] To help Canadian children avoid and manage known health risks, we will increase funding to the Public Health Agency of Canada by $15 million in each of the next two years, to support a national strategy to increase vaccination rates and raise awareness for parents, coaches, and athletes on concussion treatment. [...] To help northern residents with higher costs of living, and to help our northern economies grow, we will increase the residency component of the deduction by 33 percent to a maximum of $22 per day.
