O’Toole talks about the Conservative approach to immigration
Conservative MP Erin O’Toole who is seeking party leadership commented on his views on immigration policy. He said that the Tories need to improve some of the impressions they have out there and that they have made some mistakes. O’Toole pointed out that wait times were shorter under the Conservative government and there were more visitor visas allowed. In his view, the system needs to be improved and modernized and added that what the Conservatives might need to do if the economy is very slow and there is a high unemployment rate is allow more family reunification and a little less skilled immigration placement. He said that if unemployment is high, they may have to alter the immigration system to have more family reunification for one to two years and ramp up the Express Entry skills side once jobs recover. He emphasized that he believes immigration is important to the economy and community well-being and that he is committed to it.
