Medicine Hat getting denied federal housing fund symptom of Alberta trend, says finance minister
The denial of Medicine Hat’s application to a federal housing fund is part of a trend that sees Alberta receive less cash from Ottawa compared to other provinces, finance minister Nate Horner said Wednesday.
“We are very concerned with the amount of dollars that Alberta is getting specifically from things like the [Housing Accelerator Fund],” he told reporters at a Medicine Hat and District Chamber of Commerce event.
“There does seem to be a pattern here; we don’t feel like we’re getting our fair share in most of these programs,” Horner added.
