Leitch asks whether Ottawa should screen immigrants for ‘anti-Canadian values’
OTTAWA — Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch wants to know what her supporters think about vetting would-be immigrants and refugees for “anti-Canadian values.”
The question comes in a survey that was emailed to people who signed up for news from her campaign. It seeks opinions and gauges support for a variety of positions and issues, including electoral reform, corporate tax cuts and the legalization and regulation of marijuana for recreational use.
The question reads: “Should the Canadian government screen potential immigrants for anti-Canadian values as part of its normal screening for refugees and landed immigrants?”
Some of the other questions are fairly straightforward, such as whether the federal government should retain the supply management system for farm products such as eggs and dairy, summarizing the common arguments for and against.
