Gabriel Hardy Conservative
“Canada agreed to let Quebec control immigration and integration within its borders. The government broke this agreement by sending too many immigrants to Quebec, so Quebec cannot properly integrate them or teach them French. I want to know if the minister still respects our agreement.”
“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?”
