EP 151: The Way Forward for Canadian Immigration
Manage episode 438113995 series 3305644
One of the big stories of this summer was immigration. Canada has had a decades-long, bipartisan, pro-immigration consensus — but in recent months, that has collapsed. And one of the most contentious parts of our system is now the Temporary Foreign Worker program, which was deregulated during 2022 in the midst of pandemic labour shortages. Our guest on the program today was just in Halifax at the Prime Minister’s cabinet retreat, making the case that the low-wage, non-agriculture stream of this program should be “entirely abolished.”
Mike Moffatt is a Canadian economist. He’s Senior Director of the Smart Prosperity Institute, and the co-host of The Missing Middle podcast.
