AI GeneratedThe speaker argues that Albertans have rejected current federal immigration directions, calling for a return to provincial control. The proposed strategy focuses on eliminating excessive benefits for non-permanent residents, deporting foreign criminals, and reducing overall immigration numbers to prioritize resources for Canadian citizens.
On a federal level, what are you going to do to help implement
these questions that have been passed by Albertans?
Well, it does appear
that Albertans have rejected Mark Carney's direction on this.
They have said they want to take back control of immigration after
a decade of reckless, unvetted mass migration and open borders.
That means cutting off the deluxe benefits
that the federal government is imposing on provinces
that go to people who have never paid into the system
and are not even Canadian permanent residents,
things that Canadians don't even get.
We've got to cut back on that.
Secondly, we need to deport foreign criminals
by passing the One Law for All Act.
And third, we need to cut back the numbers.
There's still the numbers of people coming in through open borders
under this Liberal Prime Minister are still out of control.
And we need to give the provinces the power to reduce those numbers
so that Canadians always come first for Canadian health care,
Canadian jobs, and Canadian homes.
