Tying immigration to housing completions was his plan. Removing gst on housing was originally his idea. There was rezoning for density around transit and withholding federal funds from areas that don't build fast enough to encourage rezoning and reducing development taxes. Then there was selling off federal buildings and land to build housing. He also criticized the BoC for ignoring inflation and doing QE, because it rewarded asset holders, and he even said he would fire Tiff Macklem for ignoring his inflation mandate.

Now we have a housing minister who says housing is an investment, and Carney himself essentially repeated that in a round about way. Elbows up for homelessness.
