SURREY, B.C. - Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has dismissed criticism that this week's federal budget lacks measures to address Canada鈥檚 housing crisis, saying last year鈥檚 budget featured a $10-billion plan that is still being spent.

Freeland said Thursday that last year's budget allocated funds for a $4 billion housing accelerator program that was launched only this month by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
