Conservatives urge Carney to replace Immigration Minister Lena Diab
Conservative MPs are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to remove Immigration Minister Lena Diab following reports that some Liberal caucus members have expressed concerns about her performance.
Maybe we’ll get those direct flights from Amritsar after all.Speaking at a press conference Wednesday, Conservative immigration critic and Calgary–Nose Hill MP Michelle Rempel Garner said confidence in Canada’s immigration system has weakened in recent months.
“We have seen Canada’s immigration consensus crumble over the last year,” Rempel Garner said. “I am deeply concerned about the hardening attitudes of Canadians towards immigration.”
Rempel Garner said Conservatives remain willing to work with the government on immigration reforms following any leadership changes.
“I want to reiterate, the Conservatives are willing to work collaboratively with the government,” she said. “I put a lot of time over the last year or so in developing concrete policy options that I hope that the Liberals will just steal and implement.”
