Canada's housing minister says the federal government isn't ruling out changes to its ambitious immigration targets, but maintains the country should also focus on what it can do to increase housing supply when it comes to addressing current housing challenges.

INB4 "Math is racist".

Immigration is critical to our future, and given our fertility rates we don't have many options. But for everyone person we bring into the country that's one less bed available to anyone already here.

Personally if it were me I'd only allow trades people to come in until we actually have any sort of plan on how to deal with the housing crisis. We have tent cities all across this country right now and an epidemic of homeless people, more and more of which were "normal" Canadians.

The Feds need to treat housing like the infrastructure it is, and get off their asses to do something (anything?) about it.

Agreed. Fix the situation internally before we can help those externally. I'm all for providing help to those that need it, but when we don't have the resources to help anyone, we need to do something about it.
