Canada has scaled back immigration targets in response to growing concerns about housing, affordability, and public services. But will lower numbers solve the problems Canadians are worried about, or could they create new challenges of their own? And how did Canada's immigration system end up under such intense scrutiny in the first place? Tony Keller, columnist with The Globe and Mail, argues that many of the system's shortcomings run deeper than the number of newcomers Canada admits. Then, Parisa Mahboubi of the C.D. Howe Institute and Sonia Sidhu of Green and Spiegel examine whether recent reforms are addressing the root causes of those concerns or simply reshaping them.Donate Today : https://tvo.me/
