Critics shouldn’t “interfere” in Ottawa’s plan to build millions of homes to solve the country’s housing crisis, Housing Minister Sean Fraser says.

Mr. Fraser, who is overseeing the plan to build 3.9 million homes in the next seven years, made the comments in response to a question by Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis during a House of Commons transport committee meeting this week.
