Trudeau: I disagree with Quebec's request for independence in terms of attracting immigrants

Trudeau said clearly in the media meeting after this meeting: “No! We are not going to give (Quebec) more power on immigration!”

Francois Lugo also announced at the meeting that he was evaluating “all his options” but declined to comment on his next choice. He said: “The Quebec government is considering all options to immediately reduce the number of asylum seekers and temporary workers, each of whom has its own language, culture and identity. Now it can be seen that the number of asylum seekers and temporary workers in Quebec has reached 528 thousand people. I believe everyone agrees that the French language is currently under threat.”

He stated that due to the high volume of immigrants and asylum seekers, the province is facing problems in the field of teachers, medical personnel and housing, and the French language has also faced serious problems.

Quebec's premier announced that Ottawa and Quebec could work together to tighten visas for entrants to Quebec and speed up the process of processing asylum seekers.

At the end of this meeting, Justin Trudeau and Francois Lugo announced that the doors of dialogue will remain open and they will welcome the proposals of the other side.

In the meantime, the news of Trudeau's rejection of François Lugo's request was accompanied by the reaction of Lugo's opposition parties. Paul Plamondon (Leader of the Quebec Party) while calling this “embarrassing” said that Logo should say what exactly is meant by “all options”!
