    Housing shortages and investments in new and affordable housing are expected to sustain demand for these positions over the forecast period. As interest rates continue to fall, residential investment should strengthen resulting in increased housing starts in the province over the next few years. Population growth has been, and continues to be, a key economic driver supporting residential building activity in the province.
