OTTAWA: Canada's Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer on Tuesday said the number of migrants admitted every year should be in line with the best interests of the country, as he laid out his position on immigration policy ahead of an October national election.

Scheer, speaking outside of Toronto in a suburb where many new Canadians now live, said the Liberal government had damaged people's confidence in the country's immigration system, though he stopped short of saying numbers should be cut. In his speech, Scheer said there should be better screening for migrants entering Canada, but he rejected racism and extremism and said the country still needed immigrants, as it always has.
