    Housing Policy Conference, June 13, 2008

    At the CFAA Housing Policy Conference on June 13, 2008, in Saint John, New Brunswick, rental housing providers heard about:

  • property tax regimes for rental housing across Canada,
  • existing Canadian provincial housing allowance programs and a program of portable housing allowances which could be adopted in Atlantic Canada, including cost estimates

    Tax Policy Conference, June 8, 2007

    CFAA held its first Tax Policy Conference on Friday, June 8, 2007, in Edmonton. The conference reviewed the current income tax position of rental housing. It then examined what information and arguments are needed to obtain tax reform, as well as what lessons rental housing providers and housing advocates can take from past industry lobbying efforts. The Conference concluded with discussion groups on different possible tax reforms, and a plenary session to identify CFAA's choice for our next tax lobbying goal.

    Delegates to the Tax Policy Conference strongly agreed that it was well organized and worthwhile. One delegate wrote, "I really liked the discussions and sharing of ideas and experiences." Another wrote, "The afternoon was a perfect focus for the CFAA. Great for developing consensus [on our tax reform goals]."
