From the Paper:

"Housing in Canada is a very contentious issue. Many people in Canada view housing as a basic need. However, other Canadian's see housing as a product like any other, to be bought and sold for the profit of developers. This paper will take the position that housing is a basic need for all human beings to have and that as long as people don't have adequate housing, sustainable development will be impossible. In order to make this argument, it is first necessary to look at why housing is important. Then we will progress into a discussion of the housing situation in Canada. The final part of the argument will focus on social housing."
