“I want to congratulate everyone involved in the South Pointe housing development, along with the funding partners – CMHC and the Province of Saskatchewan – who have helped to bring more affordable rental housing to Weyburn,” Goodale said. “In the coming weeks and months, we look forward to working with Canadians, housing stakeholders and our partners in provinces, territories and municipalities as we restore a constructive role for the federal government in supporting affordable housing.”
