They are clear and bold and focused on the people who build this country, not rich CEOs,” Mr. Singh said in a campaign speech. Canada is heading toward an election outcome not witnessed in generations The NDP platform would require other levels of government to put in place rent controls and prohibit measures such as renoviction if they want to access federal housing funding. New Democrats provided additional details on a promised wealth tax, saying it would range between one per cent and three per cent, targeting wealth between $10-million and $100-million. The wealth tax is aimed at generating $96-billion over four years. The party would also pursue a two-per-cent surtax on corporations earning more than $500-million in profits. The NDP says it would guarantee every Canadian has access to a family doctor or primary-care team by 2030 through measures including the licensing of medical professionals across Canada so they could work where needed. To rally provinces to help with the effort, the party is also promising a one-per-cent boost to the Canada Health Transfer. In a bid to build 3 million homes by 2030, the party says it would replace the Liberals’ expiring Housing Accelerator Fund with a new permanent $16-billion housing strategy intended to include a target of 20 per cent non-market housing.
