OTTAWA - The parliamentary budget officer says Canada would need to build 1.3 million additional homes by 2030 to eliminate the country's housing gap.

I know it’s a real issue, I just find this statement funny:

“The newly released report looks at how many more homes would need to be built restore Canada’s vacancy rate to the historical average.”

We need more homes to be empty!

Makes sense, you want homes empty and prepared for people to move into rather than full and waiting for the house to be built before you can sell it to someone needing one.
