Joe Oliver’s hands-off stance on mortgages a ‘mistake’ in overheated market, warns Sun Life

  Canadian Finance Minister Joe Oliver’s hands-off stance on mortgage rates is a mistake in an overheated housing market, Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer at Sun Life Global Investments Inc., said. Canadian lenders including Bank of Nova Scotia cut five- year fixed mortgage rates below 3% this spring. While Oliver said in May he would “monitor the market closely,” similar moves last year by banks elicited a rebuke from former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. The low rates didn’t last.
