Bernier would slash immigration numbers nearly in half to about 150,000 people
Mike Blanchfield · The Canadian Press · Posted: Sep 25, 2019 9:23 PM ET | Last Updated: September 25
People's Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier began a speech in Surrey, B.C., with protesters yelling "PPC, shut it down!" outside a hotel ballroom where a boisterous crowd frequently applauded his proposals to limit immigration.
Security officers barred a door before about a dozen protesters dispersed, some with signs in support of immigrants and refugees.
Much of Bernier's speech at a Surrey Board of Trade event focused on immigration, which he said requires a "discussion" that, unlike his opponents, he's not afraid of having in a democracy like Canada.
Bernier said he would slash immigration numbers nearly in half to about 150,000 people a year and 50 per cent of those would have to be "economic" immigrants, such as skilled workers and entrepreneurs.
