Recent policies have aimed at bringing an influx of cheap labourers via the LMIA program to care homes across the country (allowing them easier entry to PR). |
So the boomers aren't running the government. You're also misquoting the PM. He said "Housing needs to retain its value, It’s a huge part of people’s potential for retirement and future nest egg.” That's not just for the current retired population, it's for all home owners, a majority of whom are neither retired, or boomers. There are now more Gen X and Millennials owning homes than Boomers and Silent generation households.
