As the Liberals and Conservatives face-off on the campaign trail, housing remains a hot topic in the build-up to the federal election.

The Canadian government announced it is removing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on future purpose-built rental projects via the "Enhanced GST Rental Rebate" program.
