Your clients have likely been among the 2.6 million Canadians who have used the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) to buy their first home. For some, it meant the difference between renting and owning by allowing them to borrow from Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) to put down a down payment. Your clients need you to lend your voice, create a conversation on Parliament Hill and push for indexation of the HBP to be added to Budget 2015.
How does our 109,000+ strong REALTOR® community make this happen?
Our former Government Relations and Communications Advisor, Nicole Christy started with CREA as a co-op student in the spring of 2012 and, after finishing her graduate degree, became a permanent staff member. Nicole was often on the front lines, liaising with our government and private sector partners, supporting our Federal Affairs Committee, and administrating our online advocacy platform – the REALTOR® Action Network. In her spare time, Nicole likes to spend her time playing volleyball, reading, and exploring Ottawa and the surrounding area with her family and dog, Reese.
