Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he would restore fairness and faith in the integrity of Canada's immigration system by cracking down on those who "game" the refugee process and supporting newcomers who help boost the economy. The Liberals, he argued, have undermined Canada's legacy of welcoming newcomers through a system based on compassion, the rule of law and human rights. Scheer said Conservatives would not set arbitrary immigration levels, but rather be guided on an annual basis based on Canada's best interests. Scheer accused Trudeau of playing wedge politics on the immigration file by responding to criticism with "rhetoric and personal attacks." Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen is warning that Conservatives would pose risks to Canada's immigration system if elected this fall.
