New housing construction investment in Saskatchewan was down 14.5 per cent between March of 2017 and March this year. We were the only province in negative territory. Nationally, investment rose on average by nearly 10 per cent. $74 million was spent in Saskatchewan this year. Statistics Canada says our drop was mostly due to lower investment in single-family house construction, which was off by $13.4 million. On the other hand, apartment construction investment rose by $5.7 million dollars.
