« La terre ne nous appartient pas, nous l'empruntons à nos enfants. » Proverbe autochtone
Non retenue
- Introductory Statement
- WHEREAS housing prices have rapidly increased since the Liberal government has doubled immigration to 500,000 since 2015, plus the number of temporary foreign workers and students has also increased to an estimated 2.5 million. The impact of this rapid increase in population has been a combination of higher housing prices, as demand has far exceeded supply and this is likely to continue, and as well, GDP per capita has actually been declining (while in the US it is growing rapidly), meaning that household incomes are also stagnant or likely to decline further AND WHEREAS population growth has been an important Green/environmental issue since "Limits to Growth" in the 1970s AND WHEREAS Canada's population has been growing at double the rate of ny G7 country
