Both of the main candidates in British Columbia's election campaign pushed their own plans to solve parts of the housing crisis.
Rustad said the Conservative Party of B.C. would redesign the approval process for home building, setting a six-month limit for rezoning and development permit and three months for a building permit. "We have so much regulation that has been put in place associated with housing that it makes it really difficult for anybody to be able to actually get through and build things, not to mention the cost," he said."So we'll amend the Local Government Act to prevent any home killing red tape that has been introduced by this government."
A statement issued by the NDP on Friday said it would work with industry, municipalities and First Nations to create a provincewide framework for prefabricated homes so builders know what's required in every community. The party said legislation passed by the NDP government last year was a"game changer" for the factory-built home construction industry in the province, where there are currently 10 certified manufacturing plants.
