8月16日                                                        哈珀总理发布可负担家庭置业的计划

今天， 哈珀阐述了他的计划，鼓励为年轻的加拿大家庭提供可负担的家庭置业计划。

 “投资自住房对年轻家庭来说是一个激动人心的里程碑，但同时也是一个重大的财务决策，”哈珀总理说。 “我们希望继续支持加拿大家庭去实现自己的购房目标。”

哈珀政府已采取了多项措施帮助加拿大家庭购买并投资他们的第一个家。这包括：建立首次置业买家的税收抵免额， 提高了第一次购屋计划的金额，建立免税储蓄帐户，并提供了一个临时家庭装修税收抵免额。 

 “我们持续保持着帮助数以百万计的年轻家庭更容易购买他们梦想家园的记录，”他说。 “获得连任的保守党政府将在这一记录上继续发展更全面的计划，以帮助下一代人去实现自己的愿望，和购买并投资他们的第一个家。” 

连任的哈珀政府将通过以下方式，支持年轻家庭在可负担购房政策继续发展：

收集外国买家在加拿大的房屋市场的活动数据，并在必要时采取具体行动，协调与各省一同遏制在加拿大的房地产市场中的外资投机。 

将购屋计划的金额从$25,000提升到$35,000，这样首次购房者可以提取免税的储蓄金来当作他们的首付，并减少他们的抵押贷款和利息支付。 

维持近期完善的免税储蓄帐户，以便加拿大人可以在免税的情况下储蓄和投资更多自己辛苦赚来的钱。 

为介于$1,000和$5,000的实质性的家庭装修费用建立一个新的永久性的家居装修税收抵免额，这样年轻的业主能改造和完善自己的家园。 

总理将这些实际、认真、可帮助有抱负的业主的解决方案与由他的对手提出的无效的、昂贵的计划进行了对比。 “贾斯汀 特鲁多保证了一个毫无意义的'国家策略'，这将为在渥太华的官僚们创造工作，但对家庭来说却毫无作用，”总理说。 “他就是不明白问题的关键所在。” 

 “Mulcair和新民主党已经向开发商和投资商承诺了昂贵的好处，却是我们无法承受且不会帮助到中产阶级家庭的，”总理说。“只有我们保守党将继续支持加拿大家庭实现置业的骄傲感和稳定性。”

 

 

PRIME MINISTER HARPER HIGHLIGHTS CONSERVATIVE PLAN FOR AFFORDABLE HOME OWNERSHIP

 

Prime Minister Stephen Harper set out his plan to encourage affordable home ownership for young Canadian families. 

 

“Investing in a home is an exciting milestone for young families, but is also a major financial decision,” said Prime Minister Harper.  “We want to continue supporting Canadian families in achieving their homeownership goals.”

 

The Harper Government has taken several steps to help Canadian families purchase and invest in their first home.  This includes: establishing the First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit, increasing the Home Buyers’ Plan for the first time, establishing the Tax-Free Savings Account, and providing a temporary Home Renovation Tax Credit. 

 

“We have a long record of making it easier for millions of young families to purchase their dream home,” he noted.  “A re-elected Conservative government will build on this record with a comprehensive plan for the next generation to achieve their aspirations, and buy and invest in their first homes.”

 

A re-elected Harper Government will build on our record of supporting affordable homeownership for young families by:

 

·         Collecting data on foreign buyer activity in Canada’s housing market and, as necessary, taking concrete action in coordination with provinces to curb foreign speculation in Canada’s residential real estate market.

 

·         Expanding the Home Buyers’ Plan from $25,000 to $35,000 so first-time home buyers can withdraw savings tax-free to make their down payments and reduce their mortgages and interest payments.

 

·         Maintaining the recent enhancement to Tax-Free Savings Accounts so Canadians can save and invest more of their hard-earned money tax-free. 

 

·         Establishing a new permanent Home Renovation Tax Credit for substantial home renovation expenses between $1,000 and $5,000, so young home owners can renovate and upgrade their homes.

 

The Prime Minister contrasted these practical, serious solutions to help aspiring homeowners against the ineffective and expensive schemes proposed by his opponents. “Justin Trudeau is promising a meaningless ‘national strategy’ that will create work for bureaucrats in Ottawa but do nothing for families,” said the Prime Minister. “He just doesn’t understand the issue.”

 

“Mulcair and the NDP have promised expensive benefits for developers and investors that we cannot afford and that won’t help middle class families,” the Prime Minister said. “Only our Conservative party will continue to support Canadian families in achieving the pride and stability of home ownership.”
