Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government could have acted faster to rein in immigration programs, after blaming "bad actors" for gaming the system.

Trudeau released a nearly seven-minute video on YouTube on Sunday talking about the recent reduction in permanent residents being admitted to Canada and changes to the temporary foreign worker program.

Over the next two years, the permanent residency stream is being reduced by about 20 per cent to 365,000 in 2027.

In the video, Trudeau talks about the need to increase immigration after pandemic lockdowns ended in order to boost the labour market, saying the move helped avoid a full-blown recession.

But after that, Trudeau says some "bad actors" took advantage of these programs.

"Some saw that as a profit, to game the system. We saw way too many large corporations do this," Trudeau said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The economists and demographers told Justin Canada needed more workers. Justin opened the gates; especially for Indians.

Now Canada has a crisis in housing and welfare because the "workers" the economists and demographers wanted are now making the problems they were supposed to solve worse.

Naturally Trudeau doesn't blame the economists and demographers or even himself for taking the advice of the economists and demographers. He blames 'large corporations' for 'gaming the system' for using the workers the economists and demographers told Trudeau Canada needed.
