    “I think that’s one of the options that we ought to consider,” federal Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Minister Sean Fraser told reporters as the Liberal cabinet gathered in Charlottetown on Monday.

    “There are good private institutions out there and separating the wheat from the chaff is going to be a big focus of the work that I tried to do with [Immigration Minister Marc] Miller.”

    Addressing the housing crisis is one of the main goals of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new cabinet as it meets for the traditional retreat before Parliament returns next month.

    Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of doing just that during his own media availability in Ottawa on Monday.

    Trudeau defended his government’s immigration policies when questioned Monday morning by reporters about whether Canada’s housing supply can keep up with its rapid population growth.

    “Yes, there’s much more we need to do on housing, and we’re continuing to step up with record investments and partnerships with municipalities and provinces,” he said during a stop at the Island Montessori Academy in Cornwall, P.E.I.
