Intervening in the housing market is a complex affair. While other countries, such as Australia, have opted for tight residency requirements for real estate investment, Safe at Home starts with the imperative that the existing assets of Canadian homeowners must be preserved, and that Canada must maintain its favourable investment climate — especially as we adapt to the effects of the global commodity slump. Additionally, in the spirit of equity, Safe at Home strives to truly increase housing affordability for all Canadians, rather than just those on the left‐hand side of the housing continuum. The interconnected nature of the rental and homeowner housing markets is crucial in achieving this objective.
