The organization, which represents mortgage professionals across Canada, is calling on politicians to implement the Liberal party’s campaign pledge of increasing the insured mortgage cut-off from $1 million to $1.25 million, and tying the metric with inflation to keep up with today’s home prices.

The organization also criticized the First-Time Home Buyers Incentive program, a shared equity program launched in September 2019 that offers five per cent towards the down payment for a first-time buyer’s purchase of an existing resale home, or 10 per cent for a newly constructed home.
