Proponents argue that it helps people afford their first home and promotes homeownership. Opponents argue that it distorts the housing market and could lead to higher prices.

No. Not unless the individual effected has a disability
@B2BM93X2mos2MO
Yes and No, complete tax cuts on first time-home buyers.
@B29PP762mos2MO
I think there should be other programs to help first-time homebuyers but a one time financial aid isn't the solution
@B27CJP3 2mos2MO
Yes, but only in the form of tax breaks such as the RRSP Home Buyer’s Plan or the FHSA.
@9ZVY22C3mos3MO
No, and the government should tax those who purchase 2 or more homes
@9WYDMSD4mos4MO
Yes, first time homebuyers should be able to take out longer mortgages, pay no interest, pay as low as 5% for a downpayment and have 10-20k of their mortgage debt wiped.
@9WQY7BP4mos4MO
Yes, and offer public mortgages with below market interest rates
@9WPFLK64mos4MO
To a certain degree. The buyer must show they have worked towards buying, or a reason why the initial downpayment is hard to do, but can support the mortagage.
