“Compared to two years ago, asylum claims are down by two-thirds and temporary resident arrivals have dropped by over 70%. We are bringing balance and control back to our immigration system.”
“Mr. Speaker, let us talk about the official figures. If we compare the first two months of 2026 with the first two months of 2024, we see that asylum applications have fallen by two-thirds and that arrivals of temporary residents have dropped by more than 70%. We are restoring control, balance and sustainability to immigration. The facts prove it, and Canadians can see it for themselves.”
