Living in the North platforms
Here's what the 2021 Canadian election parties are promising.Conservative
- Double the residency deduction, increase the basic amount in the intermediate zone to match the northern zone, and add the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, new parts of northern Saskatchewan, and new parts of north-western BC to this zone.
- Implement a Northern Housing Strategy.
- Improve Nutrition North.
• Double the residency deduction, which has not increased since 2016, to recognize the rising cost of living in the north, boost the basic amount in the intermediate zone to match the northern zone, and add the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, new parts of northern Saskatchewan, and new parts of north-western B.C. to this zone.
• Implement a Northern Housing Strategy built on:
° Providing the territories with their fair shares of federal housing funding;
° Ensuring that funding is stable and predictable; and
° Working with Indigenous groups including the Inuit, and with resource companies investing in the north to ensure that housing gets built.
• Support innovative approaches to address the crises of mental health and addiction, such as land-based treatment programs developed and managed by Indigenous communities as part of a plan to enhance the delivery of culturally appropriate addictions treatment and prevention services in First Nations communities with high needs.
• Improve Nutrition North so that it achieves the goal of ensuring that northerners have access to affordable healthy food.
