(Montreal) For his last day of campaigning, when Quebecers go to the polls on Monday, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois has chosen to denounce once again the remarks made throughout the election by his CAQ opponent, François Legault, at the subject of immigration.

“François Legault hurt Quebec by talking about immigrants like that. This morning, I have a message for all Quebecers who have been injured by François Legault. I will fight for you. No matter the result of the election tomorrow, I will not let you go,” he said in a final appeal to undecided voters to support Québec solidaire (QS).
The solidarity co-spokesperson is traveling this weekend to various ridings in Montreal where the left-wing party believes it can win seats from the Liberals of Dominique Anglade. Mr. Nadeau-Dubois was supported Sunday by the singer-songwriter Émile Bilodeau, who is frequently involved in Québec solidaire, to distribute flyers in the riding of Verdun. Meanwhile, the Liberal leader is ending her electoral tour by visiting eastern and northern Quebec.
The parliamentary leader in solidarity also returned to his day on Saturday, when several citizens challenged him to denounce the remarks of François Legault and his Minister of Immigration, Jean Boulet, on immigration.
“When the outgoing Prime Minister makes comments like that, when he decides to hurt Quebeckers, it hits people in their hearts and in their belonging to Quebec,” he said.
The message it sends is that some people are less Quebecois than others.

“Whether it’s a strategy or clumsiness, the testimonies I receive when I walk the streets are people saying ‘it hurts me’. I don’t think a prime minister should hurt some Quebecers. It should give itself the mission, the responsibility, regardless of our positions on immigration, to open our arms and say that everyone is a Quebecer,” concluded Mr. Nadeau-Dubois.
After Verdun, Sunday morning, Québec solidaire goes in the afternoon to the riding of Gouin, where the party’s co-spokesperson is present, to make his press briefing on the campaign.
