The path to change: Help save the purchasing power of the Home Buyers’ Plan

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.
