You two are correct, but I get what he means... the laws haven't been weakened but there's more taking advantage of them (by "investor" immigrants) than previously, especially when seen from a Vancouver POV.
I'm pretty sure that initially, the average "investor" was creating jobs, and generating revenue and taxes. Or at least, that's what the creators of the program considered.
But if all you do with the money you're bringing here is to buy a multi-million dollar house and leaving it vacant, while earning no taxable income in Canada and using our services, you're not having the impact on the economy you're supposed to have.
