💰Carney's spending promises will require 'significant cuts' to the public service: PBO
Capping the public service will not be enough to pay for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s tax cut and defence spending promises, says Yves Giroux, Canada’s parliamentary budget officer.
Carney has promised to pass a tax cut for the middle class by Canada Day, reducing the lowest marginal tax rate from 15 to 14 per cent. The cut is expected to cost the government $27 billion over five years.
Giroux said that the promise of a cap on the public service will not be enough to mitigate Carney’s additional spending. He said he expects higher deficits, and as a result, higher debt servicing charges over the next few years.

📝 First Nations, environmental groups denounce passing of Bill 5 in Ontario
Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government has passed its contentious legislation known as Bill 5, which gives the province sweeping powers to speed up mining or other development projects but has faced widespread backlash from First Nations and environmentalists.
The bill, which would create “special economic zones” that give the government power to suspend any provincial or municipal bylaw for chosen projects, has been sharply criticized by Indigenous groups who accuse the province of trampling on their treaty rights and failing to consult them.
First Nations leaders, at Queen’s Park for the vote Wednesday, warned of protests and even blockades of mines or highways like those seen during the Idle No More movement a dozen years ago. Mr. Ford was not in the chamber when the bill passed.

📉 Quebec considers slashing permanent immigration targets to 25,000
Quebec is considering a significant reduction in its annual permanent immigration targets, potentially as low as 25,000 people.
This marks a sharp decrease from the projected 64,000 for 2025. Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge outlined three potential scenarios: 25,000, 35,000, or 45,000 immigrants annually. The move is driven by rising unemployment, a worsening housing crisis, and concerns over preserving the French language in Quebec.
Additionally, the province aims to cut the number of temporary immigrants under federal programs from over 400,000 to 200,000.

Liberals introduce ‘citizenship by descent’ legislation
New legislation introduced today would extend citizenship by descent rules beyond the first generation.
Bill C-3, An Act to amend the Citizenship Act, would automatically give citizenship to anyone who would be a citizen today if not for the first-generation limit. Under the current rules, a Canadian citizen born outside Canada cannot pass their citizenship to their kid if that child was also born outside the country.
The new legislation would allow access to citizenship beyond the first generation so long as the parent has spent at least 1,095 consecutive days, or three years, physically in Canada prior to the birth of their child.

🇺🇸 U.S. crackdown on illegal immigrants is sending a surge of refugees to Canada
The number of refugee seekers processed by the Canadian Border Services Agency has shot up by 87 per cent between January and April.
In April, 494 ineligible refugee claimants from the U.S. were turned back at the Canadian border under the Safe Third Country Agreement, which bars most people from seeking asylum in Canada at the border. That’s up from 280 in January — a 76 per cent increase.
Growing refugee traffic at the Canadian border this year has emerged amid a looming clampdown on illegal immigration in the U.S. that experts say could trigger a flood of asylum seekers to Canada.
