Immigration Minister Marc Miller said the system needed discipline to get the country back on track.

Miller moved to cap student visas, reduce the number of permanent residents it plans to admit, made it harder to get a working visa and paused most private refugee sponsorship applications.

Miller said that immigration is essential to ensure a strong labour force to help pay for key programs like health care.

Miller : "What we can't do is fall victim to our base instincts. We need to rise above and look at this in a way that is rational, that looks at these people as human beings,” he says.

Miller : It’s about trying to strike a realistic balance to commitments under humanitarian laws and what Canada can handle.
