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.

100%. It is interesting that we never see these numbers with context. Is always just "half a million immigrants coming in" but never numbers that give some perspective along with that such deficit of skilled labour needed per industry or a deficit of births (something in the lines of that). Is always out of context numbers that support people with the theoretic that immigration is the main issue and that immigrants are arriving to work on unskilled jobs.
