Trudeau made the announcement from a snow-covered housing development inside the Membertou First Nation, a mostly urban community south of Sydney, the largest city in Cape Breton. It's aimed at encouraging municipalities to make changes to bylaws and regulations that will increase housing construction. The program encourages municipalities to adopt denser zoning rules, speed up approvals for building permits and increase the use of public and underutilized lands. It also provides incentives for non-profit and private home builders to develop affordable housing projects. The agreement with the regional municipality, for example, involves pre-approved building plans to fast-track construction and streamline the permitting process.
