Following the announcement, Trudeau is set to take part in a roundtable discussion with members of the LGBTQ+ community.

The prime minister was in Vancouver on Tuesday to make a similar housing announcement.

Trudeau said Ottawa is adding $2 billion in financing to a B.C. program aimed at fast-tracking the construction of middle-income rental housing.
