Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened with his ministers this week for a three-day cabinet retreat in Charlottetown, PEI. Housing affordability and climate change were the main points of focus, although no specific policy initiatives were confirmed as the meeting drew to a close yesterday morning. ...
Housing was a major point of focus during the liberal retreat, with Minister Fraser saying he’s receptive to a cap on international student enrolments in order to relieve some rental market pressure, and Trudeau himself saying that housing affordability is one of the feds' "core priorities."Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened with his ministers this week for a three-day cabinet retreat in Charlottetown, PEI.
This includes Canada’s international student program, which has caught a lot of flack this year given a pretty blatant disconnect between international student enrolments — Canada finalized over in 2022, up close to 30% from the year prior — and the availability of on- and off-campus housing. When asked about putting a cap on such enrolments, Fraser said it’s one of the options the feds are willing to consider — albeit not at this stage in the game.
In answering questions from reporters on Monday, Fraser also spoke to the National Housing Strategy, saying that while the feds may or may not opt to “revisit” the strategy, they’re less concerned with how the broader strategy is 'branded' and more focussed on grassroots, boots-on-the-ground solutions and initiatives.
