“The member opposite is attacking immigrants. We welcome immigrants, but we must control the numbers and build enough homes to match them.”
“Mr. Speaker, there is a big difference. The member opposite demonizes immigrants, which is specifically what he said. The member opposite said, “immigrants”. Many countries in the world, including Canada, have challenges around immigration. Lots of people want to come to Canada. We need to keep up with the housing we build, and as the Prime Minister has said, we need to make sure the housing we build fits the immigration levels. We want immigrants in Canada. This is a country of immigrants. We believe in immigration. It has to be controlled, and our housing builds have to match accordingly. That is what we are focused on.”
