Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is contemplating its immigration targets for the next three years. It should heed the wishes of most Canadians and make drastic cuts.
In its first failure to take Canadians’ immigration concerns seriously, Carney’s government has already exceeded this year’s targets for temporary foreign workers. But another test rapidly approaches. Immigration Minister Lena Diab is expected to announce the government’s immigration targets for the next three years. Most Canadians — native-born and immigrant alike — want less immigration. The government needs to make a sharp U-turn now and heed the public’s wishes.
