The federal government is going to try something new: counting.
Now mind you, this is a pilot project. We don’t want to commit to anything in case we run out of fingers and toes to count with, or if the results are embarrassing. But as confirmed by Immigration Minister Lena Diab during the House of Commons immigration committee meeting Monday, Canada’s government is going to start tracking when temporary residents enter and exit the country. The minister said she expects the program to be fully implemented by the end of the year. After that, Ottawa will decide if it’s something worth doing permanently.
