MONTREAL — Quebec and France are united by their shared language, culture and values, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal told the province's legislature as he addressed members during a speech on Thursday.
On a three-day visit to Canada, Attal also drew loud applause from legislators when he expressed his support of state secularism. The two nations remain linked by their youth, with young people from Quebec attending university in France and vice versa, he said. He added that he wants Quebec and France to work together to fight the biggest challenge for young people now: climate change.
"It's a very significant way of renewing ties that had somewhat fallen into disuse," he said in an interview.Earlier in the day, after a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Attal said he supports a policy of"non-interference" and"non-indifference" — known in French short-hand as"ni-ni" — towards the issue of Quebec sovereignty.
"There will be no indifference at all, and certainly there won't be any interference," Palard said, adding that he doesn't expect Attal to express support for sovereignty or federalism.
