As in most of the countries worldwide, Canada has implemented a special set of policies to cope with the economic slowdown. This is known as Canada’s Economic Action Plan. With 90% of the initiatives of the fiscal year 2009-2010 being implemented, it is time to have a closer look at it, focusing on the Canadian housing sector.
Economic Action Plan is a group of hundreds of smaller projects providing fiscal stimulus to our economy. Reaching around 4.2% of Canadian GDP, it is one of the biggest stimulus packages around the world, surpassing even what is spent in the USA.
