Paul Arcand’s press review | Rehousing asylum seekers? “In fact, it’s a deportation”

During his press review on Friday, Paul Arcand comments on the remarks of Prime Minister François Legault who reiterated, in Paris, his desire to see Ottawa take care of the rehousing of half of the asylum seekers who are in Quebec.


What does that actually mean? It’s a deportation. I know that opposition parties have used the term and it is not wrong. That is to say, we are not talking about people who have just arrived and are being sent elsewhere, but about people who are already settled here.

Paul Arcand

The Quebec Minister of Immigration, Jean-François Roberge, tried to be reassuring, but many questions remain unanswered.

How do you determine who leaves when? asks Paul Arcand. And there we are in the dark […] The other reality is that the Canadian provinces do not want these refugees […] Which makes François Legault look stuck. But Justin Trudeau is also stuck.
