Screening Everyone: Kellie Leitch and Fee

screening everyone: Kellie Leitch calls comparisons with Donald Trump unfair'Irresponsible' populism Lisa Raitt slams Kevin O'Leary, Kellie Leitch Prior to our Conservative government, the Liberals had brought in a fee for individuals that were immigrating to Canada and my intention would be to bring back that fee, according to CBC. Introduced by then-finance minister Paul Martin in 1995, the 975 right-of-landing fee was reduced to 490 and renamed the right of permanent residence fee under the Stephen Harper government during the 2006 budget. For myself, screening everyone for Canadian values, screening everyone at the border is important ... My intention is to transfer that cost to the individual who is immigrating here, the Simcoe-Grey MP told the CBC's Catherine Cullen on The House. Leitch said it would be a jumping off point, but any fee would have to be adjusted for inflation and the number of immigrants coming to Canada. Refugees would, however, still have to take the test. The fee would only apply to immigrants, not refugees, she added. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
