Is there much evidence that immigration is a 'principal reason' waiting times have increased?
Considering that immigrants tend to be healthier and younger it doesn't have to follow that they have. Even with the relatively high amount of immigration we've had these immigrants would probably need to be less healthy than the existing population to have a significant impact.
