Mark Carney, Prime Minister
“Our population growth is at its lowest rate in decades. We have taken back control of immigration. The number of asylum seekers is down by 70%, temporary foreign workers are down by 60%, foreign students are down by 80%, and permanent residents are down by 100,000. We will share the next part of our plan today.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition needs a little work on his maths. The population growth in Canada was the lowest rate in decades. This government has taken back control of immigration. The number of asylum seekers is down by 70%; temporary foreign workers, down by 60%; foreign students, down by 80%; and permanent residents, down by 100,000. In a few hours, they will see the next phase of that immigration platform.”
