Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The increase in mortgage delinquency, particularly in expensive housing markets, signals systemic financial strain across British Columbia. Homeowners with larger mortgage balances face greater exposure due to the higher interest rates.

The Canada Investment Summit is currently in Toronto, focusing on infrastructure spending intended to boost mining and resource development in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.
