OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper heaped praise on Canada's record of accommodating and integrating immigrants, rejecting the notion the country faces a crisis involving newcomers who won't embrace Canadian values.
"Notwithstanding the debate in Quebec and some of the debate during the Ontario election campaign, I first of all think immigrants come to this country to belong to this country. I also think that the Canadian approach to this, which is a mixture of integration and accommodation, for lack of a better term, is the right approach." The remarks put distance between Harper and the rhetoric among Quebec politicians over the limits of "reasonable accommodation" of immigrants in the province.
