Liberal platform: Carney pledges to cap non-permanent resident population at below 5% - iPolitics
www.ipolitics.ca
For the most part, the Liberals are promising to double-down on immigration changes made during the past year after bringing in millions of newcomers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Proposed cap is a 5% non-permanent resident cap, and a cap of 1% annual population growth (416k). A 14% cut from last years numbers, a 53% increase over 2015.

    The Liberal and Conservative housing plans aren’t so dissimilar.

    There are similarities for sure between the Liberal and Conservative plans, but only the Liberal plan involves the federal government directly involved in the building of homes through the Build Canada Homes program. I see that as a significant difference that should eliminate some of the major friction that has prevented increasing supply.

    The NDP are the ones proposing non-market housing solutions.

    Indeed kudos to the NDP for addressing this directly.
