In addition to that, we have legislated an annual 1% tax on vacant non-Canadian residential real estate as well as a two-year ban on foreign investments in Canadian residential real estate. We are also reviewing the tax treatment of real estate investment trusts.</p>",

De plus, nous avons fait adopter une loi qui impose une taxe annuelle de 1 % sur les biens immobiliers r\u00e9sidentiels vacants dont les propri\u00e9taires ne sont pas des citoyens canadiens et qui interdit pendant deux ans les investissements \u00e9trangers dans des biens immobiliers r\u00e9sidentiels canadiens. Nous sommes \u00e9galement en train de revoir le traitement fiscal des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s de placement immobilier.</p>"
