The Liberal answer to Canada's bogged down, inefficient, understaffed, backlogged (1.8 million applicants), election promises driven Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) department is to...(wait for it) INCREASE the annual permanent residents and refugee goals further. (When you don't have the votes for a majority, lay the seeds to create them at all costs). It's about time this important institution was discussed as and treated with the respect of an independent body much like the Courts and Bank of Canada and away from governing party's election promises, fanciful whims and wishes. It should focus and demonstrate to Candians future healthcare needs and spending, actuarial Canada Pension Plan models, how much and what type of housing should be approved/constructed, the increase and types of infrastructure necessary (transportation, power generation, urban planning, etc), municipal and provincial input, economic and employment forecasts for the decade(s) not just today's short sighted needs. Until then, we will just have to rely on the Liberals' "data and science"; however secret it may be.
