It doesn’t even talk about bringing in more construction workers.
Huh? “Grow the construction sector workforce” is literally the third point. Either you’re being disingenuous or you didn’t read the same page that I did.
Grow the construction sector workforce. Accelerated home construction will require a corresponding investment in our skilled trade workforce. We will expand and accelerate training and apprenticeship programs for skilled trades so that we can build the homes Canadians need. We will seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a more competitive construction industry with great jobs in trades and manufacturing.
It talks about educating trades workers, which is excellent, but our construction sector is rapidly aging, and we need as many workers as possible. Canada has a well developed immigration system for bringing new workers into the country. We need to use that.
Carney’s platform does not mention Federal Skilled Trades Program, TFWs, or any other part of Canada’s immigration system. Which is bizarre, given the Liberals use of immigration, and oblique mentions to Canada’s growing population,
The removal of interprovincial trade regulations for tradespeople could really help this. We don’t need people from the outside instead make it easier for people to work anywhere in Canada. Carney said he would make 1 Canadian economy, not 13.

Maybe? Tradespeople are aging out, and there aren’t enough people entering the trades.
Mobility would be great, and I’m all for it, but that probably isn’t enough to build the 3+ million homes necessary to improve affordability.
