An example by the numbers...
House costs $750,000
For 25 year amortization, assuming a constant rate of 5%, you would pay about $225,000 in interest before you paid off the house. This compares to about $275,000 for 30 year amortization period. So in effect, you are actually paying $50,000 more for the house if you take the 30 years to pay it off.
Trudeau doesn't mention this of course.
