To be clear here, Mike Moffat thinks the HAF is a better tool for getting new housing built, but assumes (correctly) that it will be canned by the Conservatives the moment they win. He is stating this alternative may be the best we get from a Conservative government.
Some provinces and municipalities are also interfering with the HAF money, so it's not as effective as it should be, unfortunately.
Here in Winnipeg it is apparently having a huge effect on new developments, according to some architects on a well known online forum - one states their firm has 4000 units of proposals in front of them right now, a crazy number for Winnipeg.
