Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called the latest data released by the federal immigration department “disastrous,” as he says the numbers indicate Canada will surpass some of its 2025 immigration targets.
“A Canada First immigration and refugee system should only invite the right people in the right numbers so our jobs, healthcare and housing can catch up,” says an Aug. 25 statement released by Poilievre and shadow immigration minister Michelle Rempel Garner.
