Experts say the national housing crisis is becoming a political threat for the Liberal government, with voters likely to look elsewhere if drastic action isn't taken soon.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came under heat recently for saying the federal government wasn't primarily responsible for housing, though it can and will help with the crisis.
University of Ottawa adjunct professor Carolyn Whitzman says even though other levels of government are also involved in housing policy, Ottawa can't skirt its responsibility toward the housing crisis.
She says the buck stops with the federal government, and Ottawa -- quote -- "is going to have to put on its big kid pants and actually deal with it."
