YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBudget 2025 promises generational investments, but the housing measures are less than the Liberals promised in the election. We speak to Housing Minister Gregor Robertson about why the Liberals have scaled back their plans and what it means for people who are still priced out of the market. We also ask about the role immigration plays in Canada’s housing crisis. We speak with a labour economist about whether plans to dial back the number of temporary residents coming to Canada by 43 per cent from the 2025 target is the right approach — and to an immigration lawyer about how these cuts impact refugees.
