    Canada's tightening of immigration policies/ Financial Secretary Paul Chan's Saudi Arabia visit / Sotheby's duct-taped banana exhibit

    On Friday’s Backchat, Global Focus talks about Canada’s tightening immigration policies.

    The government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to lower the country’s immigration targets by up to 20 %, in a move it says will stabilise the housing and job markets.
    The projected number of foreigners granted permanent residency will be cut from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025 while the issuance of student visas will be capped further.
    As a result of this new policy, the country’s population could shrink by 0.2 percent in the next two years and reduce the housing supply gap by around 670,000 units according to the government.
    Critics see this move as a way for the incumbent Liberal administration to gain the hearts and minds of Conservative voters ahead of next year’s elections, where immigration is expected to be a determining factor.
    At 9:30, we be discuss the highlights of Financial Secretary Paul Chan’s visit to Saudi Arabia.
    After 9:45, we learn more about a viral duct taped banana sold by Sotheby’s at an estimate of US$ 1.5 million.

    GLOBAL FOCUS - Sri Lanka's new President / Japan PM election

    主持人:Brian Wong and CM Chan

    On Friday's Global Focus, we're discussing Sri Lankan politics.

    People's Liberation Front leader and Marxist-leaning politician Anura Kumara Dissanayake was sworn as Sri Lanka's new President, at a time when the debt-ridden country recovers from the economic collapse and political turmoil of 2022.
    From balancing the country's relations with regional superpowers to renegotiating deals with lenders, Mr Dissanayanke's new role will be anything but plain-sailing.
    So is the country's socio-economic landscape headed towards change? We'll find out.
    After 9:30, we speak to a Japan-based commentator and an academic, as Parliament is expected to elect a new Prime Minister from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
