"Running out of homes": Poilievre says Conservatives would cap population growth

The leader of the opposition Pierre Poilievre stated during a press conference on Wednesday that the Conservatives — if they win the next election — would cap population growth so it doesn’t exceed the number of homes being built in Canada. “You can't grow the population faster than that unless you're going to have worse housing shortages. So we've been — under Trudeau and the NDP — we've been growing the population by almost three per cent, but we grow the housing stock by 1.3 to 1.4 per cent. No wonder we're running out of homes. That's not even a question of whether you support or not immigration. It's a question of whether you support mathematics,” Poilievre said. Canada’s next federal election is slated for Oct. 20, 2025 if the NDP don’t trigger an early election before that after they ended their supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberals.
