speculation and thus lower housing prices An exception would be made for the homeowner who wants to move to another house Once spcoidation in land was finished it would be possible for provincial housing uuin ority to obtain land and more housing could be built under provincial auspices Another direction reform in housing could take would be for the provincial government to pressure Ottawa for
