A new survey from Environics Institute for Survey Research shows that the Canadian public is less concerned about the overall level of immigration compared to last year. Andrew Parkin, the Executive Director of Environics Institute for Survey Research, talks about what’s leading to this shift. Mikal Skuterud, Economics Professor at University of Waterloo, talks about why the government looking to immigration to fill labour shortages is the wrong approach, and Dan Kelly, president of the CFIB, tells us about the need for more skilled workers.
