They examine these recent trends, especially their impact on younger Canadians, and question whether current immigration levels remain appropriate given AI's disruption of entry-level employment. They also explore the disconnect between immigration policy and economic realities, arguing for a more formulaic approach that responds to labour market conditions rather than political considerations.
