The conservatives were a minority government, a minority government is at the mercy of the opposition.
The NDP and Liberals would have never allowed the conservatives to change immigration rules in terms of putting a hold on parent/grandparents or changing refugee rules, or introducing conditional PR (In process I think). Only now do the conservatives have a majority, give them time.
People are beginning to realize that 250,000 immigrants is way too much, the conservative party base does not want this!
Ok, but they are a majority now. So how do you explain the planned increases for 2012? Increase in FSW, increase in PNP, increase in CEC, new class created for PhD candidates...
These were just announced by the Conservatives this month.
