Which of the following was NOT created to help expand housing options for Canadians post-WWII?

The choice that was not specifically created to help expand housing options for Canadians after World War II is property tax reforms.

Post-WWII, Canada faced a significant housing shortage as returning soldiers needed homes and war-time construction efforts had slowed. To address this crisis, various initiatives were implemented. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) was established in 1946 with the primary goal of increasing the availability of affordable housing. Alongside this, the Home Buyer's Plan, introduced in 1992, encouraged homeownership by allowing Canadians to withdraw from their RRSPs to purchase homes, which would help fuel housing demand and access.

Mortgage Backed Securities were also developed to help stimulate the housing market by providing a secondary market for mortgages, making it easier for lenders to provide loans for home purchases. These initiatives directly focused on expanding housing options and supporting homeownership.

In contrast, while property tax reforms can influence housing affordability and local government revenues, they are not specifically aimed at expanding housing availability. Property taxes are a form of local taxation and, while they can affect housing policies, they were not a direct response to the immediate housing needs following WWII.
