Former prime minister Brian Mulroney has waded into the debate over screening newcomers for "anti-Canadian values," saying he sees no need to toughen the immigration process as one Conservative leadership contender is suggesting. People don't just walk in the front door here," he told reporters after delivering a speech at the University of Calgary on Tuesday. He urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take a leadership role in ensuring new pipelines like TransCanada's $15.7-billion Alberta-to-New Brunswick Energy East pipeline are built. The regulatory process for Energy East has been mired in controversy. When asked whether he believes Trudeau will take that advice, Mulroney said: "We're going to find out."
