Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada could move toward a “controlled increase” in population through immigration, following an interview in which he framed the next policy question as timing.
Both outlets report that Carney links the prospect to the immigration system being back “under control.” In that context, he does not specify dates or targets, but presents the issue as whether and when Canada should begin increasing immigration in a managed way. Global News frames his comments as suggesting an increase may be “on the horizon,” while City News Toronto emphasizes that Canada’s current state allows policymakers to consider the timing of a controlled rise.
Taken together, the reporting indicates Carney is pointing to a potential shift in immigration posture rather than announcing immediate changes, and the focus is on incremental, planned adjustments once operational capacity is stabilized.
