Welcome to Down to Business, a weekly podcast from the Financial Post.
Canadians love to talk about real estate, and it’s become a hot topic on the campaign trail, with the Liberals and the Conservatives both promising to make it easier for people to buy a home.
For the next few weeks, Down to Business will look at the business issues taking centre stage in the federal election, including housing, energy and telecommunications. Housing is up first.
Peter Gilgan, founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes, the largest privately held residential construction company in North America, talks to host Emily Jackson about what he thinks of the election promises, the state of real estate in Canada and and how he’s diversifying his assets.
You can listen below — or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Google Play, where you can also subscribe to get new episodes every Wednesday morning.
