Condo Bailout or Housing Fix | Edmonton News
Description
The Liberals abruptly shut down a House ethics committee probe into their controversial condo-buying program, blocking Conservative efforts to call witnesses like Bob Rennie and government officials over alleged developer bailouts. Sparked by a Conservative leader’s letter linking developers to a Liberal fundraiser, the debate centers on why this housing plan—never mentioned in the election—is suddenly a priority. Liberals defend the $150 million initiative as a smart, small investment to boost affordable housing, while Conservatives blast it as a cover for developer rescue. The Prime Minister admits rollout missteps, clarifies Vancouver’s exclusion, and faces fresh scrutiny over a past investment deal involving a company he once chaired and a developer with condo assets—raising serious conflict-of-interest questions.
