“If we don’t move now to build more housing in the current lull, it’s expected that this same scenario will continue to resurface over and over again,” Alexander said in the report.Canada experienced double-digit population growth between 2006 and 2021, a trend that is expected to continue given Ottawa’s commitment to welcome 1.2 million newcomers into the country between 2021 and 2023 as part of an immigration strategy aimed at propelling economic growth and reducing labour shortages.
