加拿大移民系统垮了！反对党狠批杜鲁多，提出三原则
发布：2023年08月02日 加国无忧 作者：思忆
傅励治在国会山对记者发表讲话时批评了总理杜鲁多最近对住房问题的评论，并承诺加快建筑行业技术移民的入境速度。
联邦政府设定了到2025年每年接纳50万移民的目标，但有人担心这可能会加剧本国的住房危机，专家们一致认为，住房危机是由供应短缺造成的。
加拿大统计局上月报告，全国职位空缺多达78.1万个。
渥太华为其雄心勃勃的移民指标辩护，称这是必要的，因为自新冠疫情引发大范围封锁以来，持续存在劳动力短缺和职位空缺的问题。
傅劢治抨击自由党的指标是受杜鲁多的“意识形态”驱动，但他没有回答关于他是否会考虑减少移民的提问。
他说，保守党的政府制定移民政策，将根据三个原则：私营部门雇主的需求、慈善机构计划支持难民的程度，以及家庭团聚的愿望。
他说：“我将确保我们有住房和医疗保健，这样当人们来到这里时，他们就有了房子，在他们需要的时候得到照顾。”
“我将确保雇主更容易填补真正的职位空缺。”
在傅励治发表上述言论之际，保守党正试图在加拿大一些大城市和郊区的新移民社区中争取更多的支持，同时标榜自己是支持移民的。
这位反对党领袖先后出席了众多少数族裔媒体圆桌会议，参加不同的文化活动，与各种商业团体会面，并在活动中大谈保障生活成本的问题，包括缺乏负担得起的住房和高食品价格。
他还关注了自疫情爆发以来自杀身亡的国际学生人数，考虑到生活成本，他们更多地依赖食品银行。

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.
