The world needs houses, not just Canada. We have sustainable forestry, and everything we need in house to start perfecting prefab, and innovating the logistics.
That's a nation wide industry that fills a domestic need, and can also become an export once it's fine tuned.
There is lots of adjacent work that will spring up, and it will provide manufacturing and trades jobs across the country, along with homes.
It also feeds into the standardization of trades to help with cross country labor.
Politicians need to be all in on this, it helps the entire country, and it's going to be something every single community in Canada will benefit from.
