Immigration: Immigration Minister

Jason Kenney Dept: The research warned that Canadians are less inclined to feel that immigration strengthens Canadian culture than they were earlier in the decade and that fully 36 per cent of those surveyed said they believe immigration increases unemployment among Canadians, according to Montreal Gazette. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney reflected the cautionary tone of the research as he explained last week why the federal government decided to keep the 2011 target for accepting permanent residents the same as last year's -between 240,000 and 265,0000 and canadians' enthusiasm for accepting more immigrants has marked limits, according to research commissioned by the Harper government before it announced last week that it was holding the line on immigration next year. The findings -based on a wide-ranging survey -said Canadians hold generally positive but "somewhat conflicted" views on immigration and diversity in Canada. As reported in the news.
