Four months before the general election, François Legault makes controlling immigration “a question of survival for our nation”.
The Prime Minister is not satisfied with Ottawa’s refusal of his request to obtain control of the family reunification program. “That’s why I’m asking, in the next election, for a strong mandate to go and negotiate this with the federal government,” he argued during his closing speech at the national convention of the Coalition avenir Québec on Sunday. .
François Legault urged Quebec voters to reject the proposals of the oppositions on the left, which thinks that “money grows on trees”, and on the right, which remains idly by in the face of climate change. “When times are full of uncertainty, turbulence and economic danger, it is not the time to embark on adventures with left or right ideologues. In fact, when the sea is rough, it’s time to entrust the helm to a competent, experienced and solid team! he declared in front of hundreds of fired up activists.
In a second term, a CAQ government will refrain from “rigorous management of public finances”, which will not prevent it from supporting Quebecers to “get through” the rising cost of living. “The first thing that is very clear is that we will have to continue to help Quebeckers in the short term to deal with inflation,” he indicated, surrounded by most of the people who will run for the votes under the CAQ banner on October 3. Among them, the President and CEO of the CIUSSS du Centre-Sud de l’île de Montréal, Sonia Bélanger. She will try to be elected in the riding of Prévost, which is currently represented in the National Assembly by Marguerite Blais.
