Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said his party wants to see Canada’s population growth slow drastically, arguing that lax border controls have led to problems with drugs, human trafficking, illegal immigration, and “much worse.”
“We support a stronger border. We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage the Liberals did to our system. The population has been growing out of control,” Poilievre told reporters in the House of Commons on June 10.
