Poilievre calls for ‘very hard caps’ on immigration to better integrate newcomers

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for a tougher stance on immigration, saying Monday he wants to see “very hard caps” on the number of newcomers allowed into the country.

Speaking to reporters at a news conference in Ottawa, Poilievre said the country has struggled to integrate newcomers and he wants to see more people leaving than coming in “while we catch up.”

“We have millions of people whose permits will expire over the next couple of years, and many of them will leave,” he said. “We need more people leaving than coming for the next couple years.”
