In an interview, Immigration Minister Marc Miller addressed Canada’s significant immigration policy shift, acknowledging that the government “didn’t turn the taps down fast enough.” The Liberal administration has announced a 20% reduction in immigration targets over the next three years, marking one of their most substantial policy reversals since taking power in 2015. This adjustment comes in response to mounting pressure from economists and officials who warned that rapid population growth was overwhelming housing availability and essential services. Miller emphasized the importance of maintaining Canada’s immigration consensus while implementing more sustainable policies.
