Housing is about to get a lot more expensive in the next decade if the federal government’s immigration program bringing in skilled workers isn’t revamped. Many in the construction industry say there aren’t enough domestic workers going into jobs that don’t require an apprenticeship or certificate and the current system bringing in newcomers only covers highly skilled workers.

SUZUKA, Japan (AP) — Max Verstappen of Red Bull will start from pole position in the Japanese Grand Prix after turning in the top time in qualifying on Saturday in his final attempt.
Lando Norris of McLaren will start alongside with teammate Oscar Piastri on the second row with Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.
Norris and Piastri have won the first two Formula 1 races of the season. Now Verstappen is set up in good shape to win his fourth straight race in Japan.
The qualifying session was stopped with 8:26 remaining by a small fire in the grass on the fringe of the track.
Officials have decided to burn the grass at the edge of track in preparation for Sunday’s race. Four small fires broke out in Friday and Saturday’s practice sessions, the dry brush set aflame by sparks from passing cars.
Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda, promoted to Red Bull last week from its second team, will start from the back of the grid after going out in the second of three qualifying sessions.
