Liberal on Business of Supply 2026-05-28

Replying to Gabriel Hardy (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, the Canada-Quebec accord gives Quebec responsibility for accepting and integrating immigrants within its borders. In 2018, the Liberal government circumvented the spirit of the Canada-Quebec accord through the international mobility program to impose such excessive immigration volumes that Quebec is no longer able to properly integrate these individuals and teach them French. Do you still respect the Canada-Quebec accord, minister?”
