Mr. Speaker, after the pandemic, we answered the call of the provinces, businesses, small businesses across the country who needed to fill a labour shortage. That is why we allowed more people to come work in Canada.
The situation has changed and it is a good thing that we have a flexible immigration system because we were able to lower our immigration targets to ensure that our economy catches up to our level of growth.
It is perfectly normal for us to adjust our immigration targets based on the lived reality of people across the country.
