Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent comments on housing, stating that Canada’s immigration system is broken. Poilievre pledges to expedite entry for skilled immigrants in the building trades and base the Conservative government’s immigration policy on the needs of private-sector employers, charities for refugee support, and family reunification. Additionally, he promises to simplify job vacancy fulfillment for employers while ensuring access to housing and healthcare for newcomers. Poilievre has also expressed concern about the number of international students relying on food banks and dying by suicide since the pandemic and has pledged to speed up the licensing process for doctors and nurses coming to Canada.
