<h1>Housing loan interest deduction increase urged to boost affordable housing incentives and access to infrastructure financing.</h1> Proposals seek to raise the allowable deduction for housing loan interest to expand tax incentives and improve fund flow into affordable housing, and to accord infrastructure status to housing to access infrastructure financing. Additional recommendations focus on promoting rental housing, remedying capital gains tax anomalies when reinvesting sale proceeds into multiple residential properties, and securing greater government support for infrastructure companies working offshore.
