Canada has  a birth rate of about 1.61, so low as to turn this nation into  a land of diaper-wearing curmudgeons in about 15 years.  Canada would be barren were it not for immigration.  In fact, the country needs a population of somewhere around 50 million to have a sustainable internal economy.    It's time to INCREASE immigration rates, especially for those with marketable skills and fluency in English or french.
