Thank you very much for your question.
We have, at different moments, tried to address what we consider very troubling actions on the part of both federal and provincial leaders with the ways they speak about migrants and, in some cases, about international students, linking them to the different affordability crises that you mentioned.
I'll just note that during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Canada was not accepting anyone and our land borders were effectively closed, we had some of the largest increases in housing prices. This is a very clear indication that it actually does not have anything to do with the number of migrants arriving. These are long-standing social structural issues.
We encourage policy-makers and media to really question the kinds of linkages and narratives that are being pushed and ensure that they are not falling into traps of either talking points of right-wing groups or the backlash that we're seeing more widely across lots of different countries towards migrants, especially racialized people.
I really think there is a role for government officials to be closely watching how they speak about these very vulnerable populations and also ensuring that the media is not unnecessarily reproducing these narratives, even just to report on them.
