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 two key issues.
Dr. Allan Maslove
 presented a summary of property tax regimes for rental housing across Canada,
commented on Nova Scotia's pending property tax reforms, and
suggested what the impacts would be of a reduction in the New Brunswick double tax on all rental units. Attendees discussed how the goal of tax fairness can be advanced.
