Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has announced plans to cap immigration as part of his strategy to tackle Canada's housing crisis. Speaking ahead of Parliament's return, Poilievre emphasized the need to balance population growth with housing supply. He criticized the current government's approach, noting that while housing stock grows by about 1.4% annually, population growth has reached nearly 3%. Poilievre also proposed scaling back the international student program, citing concerns about its rapid expansion under the Liberal government. The Conservative leader's statements come amidst rising unemployment rates and growing pressure on the housing market, highlighting the complex relationship between immigration policies and economic challenges.
