The prime minister said Wednesday that Canadians would be able to use up to $35,000 from their registered retirement savings plans in order to become first-time home buyers. The move would be introduced by the Conservatives if they win the election. It would increase the current level of $25,000. Stephen Harper also pledged to track foreign ownership of homes if he forms the next government.
