加拿大移民係統垮了！反對黨狠批杜魯多，提出三原則

傅勵治在國會山對記者發表講話時批評了總理杜魯多最近對住房問題的評論，並承諾加快建築行業技術移民的入境速度。
聯邦政府設定了到2025年每年接納50萬移民的目標，但有人擔心這可能會加劇本國的住房危機，專家們一致認為，住房危機是由供應短缺造成的。
加拿大統計局上月報告，全國職位空缺多達78.1萬個。
渥太華為其雄心勃勃的移民指標辯護，稱這是必要的，因為自新冠疫情引發大範圍封鎖以來，持續存在勞動力短缺和職位空缺的問題。
傅勱治抨擊自由黨的指標是受杜魯多的“意識形態”驅動，但他沒有回答關於他是否會考慮減少移民的提問。
他說，保守黨的政府製定移民政策，將根據三個原則：私營部門雇主的需求、慈善機構計劃支持難民的程度，以及家庭團聚的願望。
他說：“我將確保我們有住房和醫療保健，這樣當人們來到這裏時，他們就有了房子，在他們需要的時候得到照顧。”
“我將確保雇主更容易填補真正的職位空缺。”
在傅勵治發表上述言論之際，保守黨正試圖在加拿大一些大城市和郊區的新移民社區中爭取更多的支持，同時標榜自己是支持移民的。
這位反對黨領袖先後出席了眾多少數族裔媒體圓桌會議，參加不同的文化活動，與各種商業團體會麵，並在活動中大談保障生活成本的問題，包括缺乏負擔得起的住房和高食品價格。
他還關注了自疫情爆發以來自殺身亡的國際學生人數，考慮到生活成本，他們更多地依賴食品銀行。

Canada's immigration system is broken, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre charged Tuesday, as he sidestepped questions about whether he would change current targets.
Appearing before reporters on Parliament Hill, Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent comments on housing and pledged to speed up entry for immigrants skilled in the building trades.
The federal government has set a target of welcoming 500,000 immigrants per year by 2025, although some worry about the pressure that could add to the country's housing crisis, driven by what experts agree is a supply shortage.
Ottawa has defended its ambitious target as necessary given the labour shortage and thousands of job vacancies that employers continue to experience since the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered widespread lockdowns.
Poilievre slams the Liberal target as driven by Trudeau's "ideology," but he did not answer repeated questions about whether he would consider reducing the number.
He says a Conservative government would base its immigration policy on the needs of private-sector employers, the degree to which charities plan to support refugees and the desire for family reunification.
"I'll make sure we have housing and health care so that when people come here they have a roof overhead and care when they need it," he said Tuesday.
"I'll make sure that it's easier for employers to fill genuine job vacancies they cannot fill."
Poilievre's comments come as the Conservatives try to increase their support in newcomer communities in some of the country's largest cities and suburbs, selling the party as pro-immigration.
Besides appearing at numerous ethnic media roundtables, attending different cultural events and meeting with various business groups, Poilievre has championed cost-of-living issues in his outreach, from a lack of affordable housing to high food prices.
He has also honed in on concerns about the number of international students to die by suicide since the pandemic, with more relying on food banks given the cost of living.
