== Canada - National Housing Strategy Act, 2019 ==
"On June 21, the Governor General signed into law Bill C-97, which contained the “National Housing Strategy Act”, and the federal right to housing legislation. This legislation is historic – it not only marks the first time that the Government of Canada has legally recognized an explicit right to housing, but it sets Canada apart as one of only a small handful of countries in the world with such legislation in place." [Morrison 2019].
From start of legislation:
<blockquote>''“It is declared to be the housing policy of the Government of Canada to recognize that the right to adequate housing is a fundamental human right affirmed in international law; and to recognize that housing is essential to the inherent dignity and well-being of the person and to building sustainable and inclusive communities.”''</blockquote>
▲
<blockquote>
''What the Legislation Won’t Do''
#''It will not create an enforceable individual right to access housing:''
#''It does not apply to provincial, territorial, Indigenous, or municipal jurisdiction: The National Housing Strategy Act is a federal statute, and therefore has no jurisdiction over other orders of government. ''
#''It is not constitutionally protected''
</blockquote>
