  MAPLE RIDGE, B.C. - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau touted efforts by the Liberal government to help first-time homebuyers put more down on their mortgages during a visit to a region of the country Monday that is facing a housing squeeze.
  Last Tuesday's budget also included $10 billion more for a program to fund the construction of new rental units — the third time the Liberals have expanded the program, which aims to create 42,500 units over 10 years and now carries a $13.75-billion price tag.
  Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said the federal government aims to create 14,000 new housing units and that it is spending $50 billion over 10 years on the program.
