## Content

Below is a brief interview with Peter Gilgan from Bloomberg North. Peter is the CEO of Mattamy Homes, which is the largest home builder in the Greater Toronto Area.

He’s absolutely right in that everything does seem to take longer, and longer. But I suspect that some of you will debate his comment that homeownership should be considered a right. Is renting a bad thing? If you can’t see the video below, click here. //cdn.playwire.com/bolt/js/zeus/embed.js
