I agree that the Liberal party has some interesting & positive policies on federal immigration programmes.
(I think you might like to do a little more research on Pierre Trudeau & his outlook & policies on Quebec sovereignty/separatism; he was a federalist through & though...).
I'm a *huge* Pierre Trudeau "fan" (I once had the privilege of meeting him briefly). I'm not so sure that his son is quite of the same caliber, but I see his election as positive for Canada.
To all, liberal parties immigration thinking are as follows.....

Repeal bill C-24, also known as the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act, and ensure a strong and united Canada where all citizens are treated equally.

Ensure compulsory and regular workplace audits.
Require mandatory disclosure of investigations into abuses of the program.
Require mandatory disclosure of federal employer compliance reviews.
Establish a monthly disclosure regime that indicates the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada by (i) region, (ii) National Occupation Classification code, and (iii) employer.
Refugees:
Provide more help in Iraq and Syria through a well funded and well planned humanitarian aid effort.
Expand the target number of Syrian refugees to 25,000.
Expand refugee targets and give more victims of war the opportunity to start a new life in Canada.
