After the controversial remarks of the CAQ leader, François Legault, and his candidate Jean Boulet on immigration, the liberal leader, Dominique Anglade, maintains that the “tide is turning” in her favor.
Quebecers realize that they “need something else” than a CAQ government, said Ms.me Anglade, passing through Brossard, in the riding of La Pinière. “It is outrageous what is happening from the point of view of the division in Quebec. »
On Wednesday, outgoing Immigration Minister Jean Boulet apologized after saying during a debate last week that “80% of immigrants go to Montreal, don’t work, don’t speak French or don’t do not adhere to the values of Quebec society. On the same day, François Legault said that welcoming more than 50,000 immigrants a year would be “suicidal” for the Quebec nation.
According to Dominique Anglade, several voters believe that the CAQ “goes much too far” with these remarks. “Quebecers don’t like chicanery,” she said.
After candidates withdrew at the start of the election campaign, the situation has become more favorable to the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) since last week, according to the aspiring Prime Minister.
During the leaders’ debate on September 22, Dominique Anglade had addressed the “significant setback” for mothers unable to return to work, due to a lack of childcare places for their children. Since then, the status of women has occupied a large place in her declarations.
If Mme Anglade believes that she now has the wind in her sails, the latest Leger poll published on Tuesday, however, gives only 16% of voting intentions to her party in Quebec. Only 15% of Quebecers say they prefer the leader of the PLQ as an opposition to the CAQ.
She nevertheless says she is “very confident” for October 3, especially in Montérégie. And this, even if his candidate in Laporte, Mathieu Gratton, believes that the liberal castle where he is running is more “a house of cards”. “It is a perpetual work that we have to do”, recognized Mme England.
GMF and francization in Brossard
Together with his Monteregian team, Dominique Anglade has promised to start a pilot project in Brossard to facilitate the integration of newcomers.
The latter would have access to a family medicine group (FMG) very close to the Maison internationale de la Rive-Sud, which would see its francization services improved. The “integration pole” also plans to offer translation to those who want it.
“The strong hypothesis is that when you bring together the services, particularly in the area of health, you are better able to see right away where there are needs for francization,” explained the chef.
