    seems to be primarily concerned with real estate value and helping it achieve higher and higher values by ensuring not enough homes are available for all Canadians

    That’s a pretty specific guess that Hanlon’s Razor slices up in seconds without some kind of data other than ‘seems’.

      Well “seems” because it is not like the government is going to say they are favouring the wealthy and “seems” as Canada really has not built the homes for the amount of immigrants. So the evidence is pretty clear. You must not live in Canada because if you did you would not need data, but there is plenty of you look, like the cost of rent and homes. Totally out of whack. Not just my opinion but the majority of Canadian’s less those investing in real estate of course.
