Prior to Monday鈥檚 election, Dhaliwal promised to help more Canadians buy homes.

鈥溞允咏绱�媒-Newton is full of young families and I believe strongly in doing everything in my power to assist residents in becoming homeowners,鈥� he told the Now-Leader.

鈥淥ur party鈥檚 new Rent-to-Own program will make it easier for renters to get onto a clear path towards ownership while renting. We are committing $1 billion in loans and grants to develop and scale up rent-to-own projects.

鈥淲e are also creating a new tax-free home savings account that allows Canadians under 40 to save up to $40,000 towards their first home and withdraw it tax-free for the purchase (with no requirement to repay it).

鈥淔inally, we are introducing a more flexible first-time home buyers鈥� incentive which will allow you to choose between the current shared-equity approach or a loan that is repayable when you sell your house. This allows for more money from any price increase to be kept while still reducing monthly mortgage costs.鈥�
