Housing

Question Period exchanges on housing and immigration levels. Conservatives said government officials had warned that high immigration was contributing to the housing shortage, argued rising rents and limited supply were hurting young Canadians and newcomers alike, and asked whether the government would lower immigration levels. Liberals replied that immigration levels are now under control, pointed to declines in temporary residents, students and asylum claims and to falling rents, and cited government housing construction programs as evidence that building is keeping pace with immigration.Written by AI from the debate.
