“The Liberals brought in too many immigrants too fast. This has lowered wages, caused housing shortages, and made wait times for jobs and emergency rooms too long. Conservatives oppose this. Why does the Prime Minister want to increase immigration even more?”

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians are lining up for blocks for scarce entry-level jobs, are waiting 20-plus hours in emergency rooms and are unable to find a home, in part because the Liberals brought in too many immigrants too fast. Last week, a senior Indian government official suggested that Canada bring in 15 million more immigrants, a population the size of Ontario, an idea also pushed by Liberal insiders at the Century Initiative. Conservatives oppose Liberal mass immigration because it has depressed wages and outpaced integration. Why is the Prime Minister saying he is going to increase immigration even more?”

“Foreign companies push for high immigration so they can use cheap foreign workers and lower wages. This Liberal policy hurts Canadian jobs, keeps wages down, and makes it hard for young Canadians to afford to have children. Conservatives will cut immigration sharply and remove people who have no legal right to be here, so we can hire, train, and house Canadians first. I want the minister to tell us if he agrees with us or with foreign companies.”

“Mr. Speaker, foreign governments are not the only ones pushing Liberal mass migration. So are foreign companies like Tim Hortons, which profit from cheap foreign labourers and depressed wages. Liberal mass immigration has cost Canadian jobs and wages. It has contributed to young Canadians not being able to afford to have kids. Conservatives will remove non-citizens who have no legal right to be here. Conservatives will sharply cut immigration so we can hire, train and house Canadians first. Does the minister agree with Conservatives or with pro-mass migration foreign governments and corporations like Tim Hortons?”

“The Liberals cut grants that paid Canadians up to $4,000 to train for skilled trades. Now they are letting employers hire foreign workers for skilled jobs without even trying to hire Canadians first. Immigration should be much lower, and the focus should be on training and hiring our own workers. I want the government to stop making it easier for foreign workers to take jobs from Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians who want to become electricians, bricklayers and heavy-duty mechanics used to get up to $4,000 from the apprenticeship incentive and completion grants. The Liberals cancelled these programs. Instead of hiring Canadians for skilled jobs, unbelievably, the Prime Minister’s government announced that it is going to let employers recruit foreign labour for highly trained jobs without even trying to hire a Canadian. Talk about a lack of due diligence. Conservatives believe there should always be way less immigration, and the government should be focused on training and hiring Canadians first. Will the Liberals cancel their plans to make it easier for foreign labour to take these jobs away from Canadians?”

“The government let corruption take over Canada's immigration system. Employers and consultants exploit foreign workers, and fake colleges charge for classes that do not exist. Now the minister is removing the rule that employers must prove no Canadian can do a skilled job first. Why is the minister allowing even more corruption?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister’s government let corruption take over Canada’s immigration system. Let us talk about that. Some employers shook down foreign workers for up to $50,000. Immigration consultants under the Liberals pocketed fees for shady job placements. The Liberals allowed corrupt colleges to charge tens of thousands of dollars for classes that did not exist. Now the minister is scrapping one of the few safeguards left in the immigration system: proving that no Canadian is available to take a skilled job. That lets shady employers and corrupt consultants profit off foreign workers. Why is the minister opening the door to even more immigration corruption?”

“High immigration is straining our housing, health care, and jobs. The government also refuses to deport non-citizens who commit serious crimes, which causes people to blame newcomers who follow the rules. Conservatives would lower immigration numbers. I want to know why the Prime Minister will not do that.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister’s mass immigration policies hurt immigrants too. Too much immigration has strained housing, health care and jobs, and has hindered successful integration. Refusing to deport non-citizens who have committed serious crimes leads to wrongly blaming law-abiding newcomers. Liberal policies fuel rising anti-immigrant sentiment and a broken immigration consensus. Conservatives would lower immigration and restore order and fairness. Why will the Prime Minister not do the same?”

“The Liberals let people with expired visas stay in Canada and use public services. At the same time, they want to deport skilled, law-abiding workers. I want to know why the government punishes skilled immigrants instead of deporting people who are here illegally.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are allowing hundreds of thousands of non-Canadian citizens with expired visas to remain in the country and benefit from our public services. The Prime Minister would rather deport our skilled immigrant workers, such as machinists, who obey the law, are integrated into our regions, contribute to society and work in our factories. Why are the Liberals penalizing skilled immigrants in our regions with low unemployment rates, instead of deporting those without legal status from Canada?”

“The government is sending home skilled workers who obey the law, even though Quebec needs them. At the same time, it refuses to deport people who have no legal right to be here. I want the minister to explain why.”

“Mr. Speaker, what the minister is telling us concerns a program affected by fraud. I, on the other hand, am talking about skilled workers in our regions. They refuse to deport non-citizens who have no legal right to remain here, who abuse our system and who are a financial burden on taxpayers. The regions of Quebec are being hit hard by U.S. tariffs. Our unemployment rate is among the lowest in the country, yet the Liberals are sending home our skilled and qualified workers, who are the driving force behind our economy. Why are the Liberals punishing our skilled immigrants who obey the law but rewarding those who do not?”
