Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is among the few politicians raising alarms about what he calls a “sleeper issue” He says Ottawa has been allowing a high number of immigrants and temporary residents into the country without providing the infrastructure to support them.
In 2023 , the net number of new people moving into the region — 119,000 — was almost four times higher than in 2015 , when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was first elected.
B.C. Health Ministry officials confirmed that guest workers and foreign students receive subsidized health care when they pay a monthly fee of $ 75 .
In swiftly growing cities such as Surrey , West said, some elementary and high-school students are even having to use portable lavatories.
West, as a TransLink board member, has directly noted Ottawa ’s funding deficiencies when it comes to the impact of sudden population growth.
