To discuss the housing crisis, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has demanded Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to start the Parliament session at the earliest.

After the three-day Liberal cabinet retreat ended, Poilievre blamed Trudeau for the housing crisis, adding that the Conservative Party had more policies to balance the budget to lower mortgage interest rates.

Taking a dig at Trudeau, Poilievre said that now the holidays are over and the House of Commons proceedings should resume so that Canadians can be given homes.

The session is scheduled to start on September 18.

According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Canada needs to build 5.8 million new homes by 2030 to address the housing crisis, including 2 million rental units.
