During last week’s Francophonie summit, Quebec Premier François Legault made the latest move in his ongoing campaign to push the federal government for both a reduction in the number of immigrants who settle in the province, as well as a massive infusion of cash to support them.
“Currently, everything that is proposed by the federal government is on a voluntary basis for asylum seekers, and on a voluntary basis for the provinces. What we want is for half of the asylum seekers who are currently in Quebec to be transferred to other provinces,” Legault said, as reported by The National Post. Immigration, Citizenship, and Refugees Canada and Minister Marc Miller have been making moves towards slimming down the country’s temporary resident population.
