After participating in a panel discussion on CBC K-W's The Morning Edition, Waterloo candidates were asked what the federal government should do to make owning or renting a home in Waterloo more affordable. The three candidates who took part in the panel were Liberal Bardish Chagger, the NDP's Héline Chow and Simon Guthrie of the Green Party. Conservative candidate Waseem Botros did not respond to CBC's invitation to join the panel. There are nine candidates in total in this riding, including Santa Claus Chatham from the Rhinocéros Party, Douglas Ross from the People's Party of Canada and independent candidates Val Neekman, Jamie Hari and Hans Roach.
