- After an “out of control” spike in temporary residents, the Carney government says Canada’s immigration system is back under control.
But Jason Kenney, Canada’s longest-serving immigration minister, says what was once a model system is still far from fixed — and now is not the time to raise immigration levels again.
This week on Open Question, Kenney joins CPAC’s Marc-André Cossette to examine the failures of Canada’s immigration system, why business groups pushing for more workers shouldn’t be driving the debate, what went wrong with the temporary foreign worker program, and why giving provinces more power over immigration would be risky.
Kenney also warns that Canada’s once broad consensus in favour of immigration can’t be taken for granted, and that failing to restore public trust could have irreversible consequences.
