Carney Isn't Ruling Out a Quebec-Style Immigration Deal for Alberta
Carney says the federal government is getting intake to sustainable levels as provinces press for more control over immigration policy.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Ottawa will "not budge" from sustainable immigration goals, asserting the federal government is "getting them to that level now."
- This follows a referendum where just over a million Albertans voted to demand more provincial control over immigration policy to reduce newcomers to sustainable levels.
- About 53 per cent of voters supported the referendum question, which called for greater local authority to manage newcomer numbers and ensure necessary service delivery.
- On Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the Liberals, claiming they let immigration run "totally out of control" and arguing provinces need more oversight for services.
- Federal immigration levels are due for an update next month, though Immigration Minister Lena Diab declined to answer reporters' questions about the policy during Wednesday's caucus meeting.
