While the article stated that the statement was FALSE, It’s actually NOT FALSE.
There was no housing minister in Harper’s cabinet at the time. Many housing issues got rolled into Poilievre’s domain under the title of social development.
The six houses number stems from non-profit housing built by the government in the 2015-16 fiscal year, when Poiliever had the file. Under Harper, Canada had less social housing per capita than many other countries.
Housing was under PP’s portfolio, and PP made it very small.
When you include non-profit housing built by others with federal government help, it’s more like 3,742 houses.
But it’s hard for Poilievre to take responsibility for the 200,000 homes he says were built when he was minister. In the 2015-16 fiscal year, 194,461 homes were built in Canada in total, including by private developers.

I concur, it’s not false, but it’s hard to call it true
