      Newly installed B.C. Premier David Eby has begun passing his first bills aimed at expanding the housing supply.

      The new legislation includes ending rental and some age restrictions on strata developments, along with potentially forcing local governments to meet housing growth targets.

      Do you think these bills, and other proposed changes to housing rules that Eby has floated, will make a difference in the B.C. housing market?
