Ottawa will revamp a Second World War-era housing plan to speed up the pace of home building in Canada, Housing Minister Sean Fraser says.
Fraser on Tuesday confirmed Global News’ report from Monday that the federal government was dusting off a program nearly 80 years ago run by what was at the time known as Wartime Housing Ltd. to provide standardized housing blueprints to builders.
“In many instances, these homes were being built in a period of about 36 hours, and we intend to take these lessons from our history books and bring them into the 21st century,” Fraser told reporters in Ottawa.
“We are going to be moving forward with a catalogue of pre-approved designs at the federal level.”

Wow are we ever pathetic as a country. First housing isn't the feds responsibility, now it is. And now we need to enact war time housing acts to get #### done.
Someone should tell him the 'National Building Code' doesn't mean anything to local planning boards whose sole purpose in life is to prohibit development.
