Based on a Google search, Canada builds 200k homes, condos and other dwellings in a year. Looks like the pace needs to be doubled.

I’m not disagreeing that a lot more should be done on the supply side but the suggestion of it needing to double comes across as the additional demand equaling 1 home per immigrant which is simply not the case. I would like to see the hard numbers but I would expect a significant proportion to be 2+ families.
