PPC leader calls on the government to slow down immigration to Canada

Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), warns that Ottawa’s goal to bring in 500,000 new permanent residents by 2025 is unrealistic and unsustainable. The PPC leader proposes that Canada prioritize economic immigration to fill job vacancies and lower the number of refugees and extended family members, taking advantage of the Parents and Grandparents Program to avoid potentially damaging effects from immigration. The PPC received only 4.9 percent of the popular vote in the previous federal election and failed to elect any candidate for the House of Commons
