Jean Charest promised to review the operation of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada ”in light of what [François] Legault ”if he wins the Conservative leadership race and eventually becomes prime minister.
In an interview Thursday on the show noon informationthe candidate for Erin O’Toole’s replacement has declared that he is not not closed on the idea of giving Quebec more power in immigration matters, as requested by CAQ. In fact, according to him, the entire functioning of the responsible department needs to be checked.
Honestly, at the Department of Immigration in Ottawa, it’s very, very difficult and painful. There are deadlines. We need to review the functioning of the department, and I will review it in light of Mr. Legault’s request and I thank him for the spirit of openness.said Mr. Charest.
” I’m not closed, but the starting point […] will need to review all operations […] from the Department of Immigration [pour] allow us to adapt to our needs to acquire talent from across the planet. My ambition is that, and I will do so in partnership with Quebec and respecting each other’s abilities, in the spirit of openness. “
Jean Charest, who served as Quebec’s premier from 2003 to 2012, agrees that the province faces major linguistic and cultural challenges-an issue that the provincial government should not be alone in addressing.
We agree with the fact that the whole question of the future of language, of culture in Quebec, is a very important issue.he pointed out. It says nothing for the Premier of Quebec, but it also says nothing for the Prime Minister of Canada.
Mr. Charest also said that when he was a federal minister in Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservative government, he had supported the agreement ended in Quebec to allow the latter to select economic immigrants.
Meanwhile, the Conservative Party’s leadership race continues. Supporters have until Friday along to get their membership cards to participate in the mail vote that will take place this summer to find a successor to Erin O’Toole, who was ejected from leadership in February.
As part of this campaign, Jean Charest posted about fifteen “politics”, including one of labor mobilitywho are completely dependent on immigration.
The candidate proposes in particular to create a national register for credential recognition for all federally controlled workers to allow the provinces subscribe to a single set of competency-based standards and provide workers a pan-Canadian portal for applications and a clear path to identify their credentials.
He wants to too give every international graduate from a Canadian university an immediate right to work and a clear path to citizenship, while destroying fake colleges that sell Canadian visas.
However, the policy states thatthe government led by Mr. Charest will respect the immigration agreements signed with the provinces.
