Canada’s rising immigration numbers are not the only factor causing the country’s housing crisis, says Housing Minister Sean Fraser.

“One of the things that’s really important for Canada’s social and economic well-being is that we don’t seek to attribute the very real challenges we’re having with housing exclusively to the issue of immigration,” Mr. Fraser said to members of the Standing Committee on Finance Feb. 13.
