Mr. Speaker, today the Minister of Immigration tabled the 2025-27 immigration levels plan, a plan that will pause population growth in the short term to achieve well-managed, sustainable growth in the long term.
Our government has been taking concrete action, including the recent reforms to the international student program to ensure system integrity, and the results are showing. Many university and college cities are experiencing rental downturns, at least partially due to the cap on international students. In Vancouver and Toronto, rent went down 11 % and 8.1 %, respectively.
We are committed to achieving long-term growth and ensuring a well-managed, sustainable immigration system where everyone has a fair chance to succeed.
