The extension of the Help to Buy scheme for would-be home owners to 2020, at an estimated cost of £6bn is an ineffective means of increasing affordable housing supply but highly efficient at stimulating demand and inflating house prices.

The per capita immigration rate in Canada has been pretty constant since the 1950s, and recent years have seen a gradual increase in the skill level and education of immigrants to Canada. Over the last 25 years the economic position of newcomers to Canada relative to the native population has gradually declined. In 2007 a statistics study on Canada shows that the income profile of recent immigrants has fallen by a substantial amount from 2000 to 2004.

This is slowing down the amount of Immigration.
