Yes, a balanced approach is reasonable. But what credible sources have said our immigration standards are the lowest in the G 7?  Even Trump expresses admiration for our merit based immigration system.  

One thing that irks me when immigration comes up is the suggestion mainly by left wingers that Conservatives are always opposed to large scale immigration.

In truth, Conservative PMs are much more responsible than Liberal PMs for a Canada open to immigration starting with MacDonald who, on a % of population basis, allowed more immigration than any PM.

Diefenbaker's bill of rights and even more his rewrite of the Immigration Act enabled those who were not white Europeans to immigrate here.

Mulroney's 250% increase in Trudeau's immigration quotas set the template for contemporary immigration policy.

Harper with a quota of 280,000 set the record for number of immigrants in one year. 

Conservatives know high numbers of highly skilled immigrants is essential for Canada's prosperity.
