I don't think this flies. Criminal law is absolutely within Federal jurisdiction, and there are myriad ways that the federal government can subsidize or incentivize new home construction - exempting new home builds from GST is one obvious way that's been proposed.
There are definitely some things that the feds have limited control over but it doesn't seem to me like taking a position of "well, that's not up to us" on economic issues is going to convince anyone to vote for you.
