A Reform wants changes to The federal government must change immigration policies to reduce the number immigrants coming into the country each year. And the government must also stop endorsing and funding multiculturalism, a meeting in Port Perry September 12 was told. Sponsored by the Reform Party, the meeting wes also told that with the conntry just now starting to rebound from a disastrous four-year recession, the immigration numbers are of increasing with many putting a drain on social services. Evert Vroegh, president of the Reform Party Assoc. for Durham Riding told the small crowd at the meeting the immigration department is now working for Canadians. He said the Reform Party is not opposed to immigrants, but rather the number of people being allowed to enter the country. Vroegh himself is an immigrant who came to Canada in the 1960's from his native Holland. . . } i Seugog Citizen -- Tuesday, September 30, 1994 --13 4 "But our country needs some time to fast and diet and take stock before we increase the numbers from 250,000 (annually) to 270,000," he said. He and Reform Party colleagues blasted the government for "stocking up on immigrants" at a time when the country has neither the room or the jobs for them. And Flint expressed concern over the number of criminals who make their way into the country. "Immigrants have made immigration laws Canada a nation. But if they are guilty of a crime they should be deported and kept out. Our present government should be keeping the country secure, but is failing to do this," he said. There was mention at the meeting of two recent high profile shootings in Toronto that took the life of police officer Todd Bayliss and a young women in the Just Desserts Cafe. Immigrants have been charged with murder in both instances. But one person in the crowd at last week's meeting took sharp exception saying the man accused in the Just Desserts had been in Canada since the age of nine and thus learned any criminal or violent tendencies on the streets of Toronto rather than his native land. Those attending the meeting last week were asked to sign a petition dethanding Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi initiate government "action to change the country's policies on immigration. 1 Planning your Wedding? : Make it easy by using the services of these helpful and caring professionals.
