About this episode
Ottawa and Ontario say they're teaming up to temporarily — but completely — remove the HST on new home purchases under $1 million, and give back up to $130,000 on new homes up to $1.5 million. Power & Politics talks to Ontario Housing Minister Robert Flack about how much it can turn around a slumping market. Plus, ahead of the party's leadership convention this weekend, MP and candidate Heather McPherson lays out her vision for reversing the party's 2025 electoral fortunes.
