I agree that the Liberal party has some interesting & positive policies on federal immigration programmes.
(I think you might like to do a little more research on Pierre Trudeau & his outlook & policies on Quebec sovereignty/separatism; he was a federalist through & though...).
I'm a *huge* Pierre Trudeau "fan" (I once had the privilege of meeting him briefly). I'm not so sure that his son is quite of the same caliber, but I see his election as positive for Canada.
To all, liberal parties immigration thinking are as follows.....
measures.
Citizenship:
Repeal bill C-24, also known as the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act, and ensure a strong and united Canada where all citizens are treated equally.
Temporary Foreign Workers:
Increase accountability and transparency in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
Establish a mandatory complaint tracking system.
Ensure compulsory and regular workplace audits.
Require mandatory disclosure of investigations into abuses of the program.
Require mandatory disclosure of federal employer compliance reviews.
Establish a monthly disclosure regime that indicates the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada by (i) region, (ii) National Occupation Classification code, and (iii) employer.
Refugees:
Provide more help in Iraq and Syria through a well funded and well planned humanitarian aid effort.
Expand the target number of Syrian refugees to 25,000.
Expand refugee targets and give more victims of war the opportunity to start a new life in Canada.
