Agree

Yes, but only for first-time homebuyers on properties valued up to $1 million

Targeted relief for first-time buyers aligns more with typical Liberal design (means-testing/targeting). While Liberals have used other first-time buyer tools (e.g., First-Time Home Buyer Incentive launched 2019; FHSA introduced 2023), they have not made this exact GST promise, so agreement is moderate rather than strong.

Agree

Yes

Liberals have shown openness to targeted GST relief on housing (e.g., 2023 removal of GST on new purpose-built rental construction) but have not broadly committed to eliminating GST on all new home sales; they tend to prefer more targeted affordability measures.

Agree

No, focus on using that revenue to act as a direct developer of affordable housing on public lands

Liberals have increased federal involvement in affordable housing supply (e.g., National Housing Strategy from 2017; Housing Accelerator Fund in 2022; use of federal lands via the Canada Lands Company/Surplus Federal Properties initiatives). They would likely agree with prioritizing supply programs, though not necessarily rejecting GST relief entirely.

Disagree

No

The party has supported using the tax system to incentivize housing supply (notably the 2023 GST removal for purpose-built rentals), so a flat 'No' to any GST change is somewhat at odds with recent Liberal policy direction.

Disagree

Yes, immediate universal elimination for all new homes sold for under $1.3 million

A universal, immediate GST elimination up to a high threshold ($1.3M) is closer to Conservative-style broad tax relief and risks being seen by Liberals as expensive and poorly targeted; Liberals have generally favored narrower measures.

Disagree

No, set a policy of national rent control and increased taxes on high-value properties instead

National rent control is not a typical Liberal federal policy (rent regulation is largely provincial/municipal), and broad increased taxes on high-value properties is more associated with NDP/left proposals; Liberals have instead used more limited measures like the 2022 foreign buyer ban and 2022 anti-flipping rule.
