THIS WEEK AND NEXT by Ray Argyle A GOOD DEBATE Parliament is now debating amendments to the National Housing Act to enable, buyers of older homes to obtain gov- ernment -insured loans on the same basis as NHA loans for new houses. Because debate in Ottawa has seen so much partisan bicker- ing in the past several sessions, it is refreshing to note the high standard of this debate, with legislators earnestly tackling 'one of Canada's most pressing social problems. These excerpts from a recent afternoon's speeches are of spe- cial interest: Labor Minister J. R. Nichol- son: "Between Jan 1 and the end of September, 75,727 new dwellings were started in Can- ada in urban. centres ... a de- crease of 23 per cent. from 1965. Behind this slackened production rate is the fact that Canada -today is developing at a pace exceeding any growth pe- riod in our history. . every dollar is at a premium from the standpoint of investment. In January the government. raised the interest .rate on mortgages from six and one quarter per cent. to six and three quarter per cent... " there°are in this coun- try many potential home buy- ers who simply cannot afford the luxury of new housing.. Many people are leaving the ru- ral areas and moving into the city. The Only hope these peo- ple have of obtaining a house of their own rather than living. in rented quarters is to buy an existing house and repair it. There are many houses in all parts of this country, some built in the last century and others in the first. decade or two of this century which, if modern heating, electrical and plumbing systems were in- stalled; would provide very good homes for another 40 or 50 years." J. R. Geays '(PC -Gaspe): "There is' another factor which has possibly'- contributed to the reduction in the amount of con- struction in the housing indus- try. I refer to the 11 per cent. sales tax which was imposed by this government on building materials. When 'you add the 11 per cent. sales.tax,.to the cost of a house you are discouraging many of these people who would be able to own their own homes . this'tax has contrib- uted to inflation," Murdo Martin (NDP -Timmins): "The record over the last 10 years or so indicates that every amendment which has been made to the housilact . . . has. been , putting one patch•on another patch. What we 'have had has been a steady proces- sion of booms and busts. They have used housing as the num- ber one weapon to bust the boom or to boom the bust . . - "We have created a bonanza for speculators, real estate agents, loan agencies and con- tractors: But we have not solved the housing problems. The result has been that hous- ing and shelter in this country take more of the consumers dols lar than they do in any other country • in North America of western Europe." Robert Thompson (SC -Red Deer): "There will be only 140,000 new units, built in Can- ada in 1966... 110,000 short of the nation's need. In Toronto the average cost of a house sold this year was $27,000. That is up 22 per cent. over the last year and a half. A hone of this value is not only beyond the ability to buy of the wage ear= ner who receives less than $5,000• a year; it is• available onlyonly to those who actually earn $10,000 or more per year. The situation ... will soon become one of our major problems in Canada." Davie Fulton (PC -Kamloops): "We still have not made adequate provisions for the smaller communities which, be- cause of the lack of convention- al lending institutes in this field, are almost entirely de- pendent upon the direct lend- ing activities of Central Mort- gage and Housing Corp. These communities have consistently lagged behind. To refuse them adequate attention now means a further deterioration in their relative position." Robert Stanbury (Lib. -York Scarboro): "By the turn of the century about half of all Cana- dians will probably live in only nine huge cities. I urge the government to treat the prob- lems •of urban areas, the prob- lems of housing, as matters of the highest priority., -.I, believe that in doing so it must recog- nize that the cities are in fact the new frontier of our coun try." -- NOTICE. -- For Co -Op Insurance, Call W.
