Sam Konnert brings host Noor Azrieh into the room where it happened. Plus, the Liberals say they’re “taking back control” of Canada’s immigration system. They’re study permits and temporary residents by half. But what happens to the 3 million people already here? Noor talks to immigration expert Rupa Banerjee about whether this is a fix… or the start of Canada’s next crisis.
