Canada’s housing markets : benefits, barriers and bringing balance / Wayne Easter, chair.: XC26-1/1-421-15E-PDF

"During the study, the Committee was cognizant that Canada does not have a single housing market, but rather several markets across the country’s regions. For economists, ensuring that a regional housing market is balanced involves considerations that are similar to ensuring equilibrium in any market: the relationship between demand and supply. While accepting the common notion of balance as equilibrium, the Committee – as legislators representing the nation’s citizens – interprets the notion of housing market balance in Canada in a somewhat broader manner: a balanced housing market ensures access to affordable housing for the greatest number of Canadians, while maintaining stability in Canada’s housing markets and in the country’s financial system with a view to protecting borrowers, lenders and taxpayers" -- Introduction, p. 1.
