Premier refuses to back down on plan to scrap 18,000 immigration applications
Quebec Premier Francois Legault is holding firm on his plan to scrap thousands of pending immigration applications, meaning 18,000 people would have to restart the application process from scratch.
Legault’s statement came shortly before the Coalition Avenir Quebec government’s immigration reform bill was expected to pass on Saturday, despite pleas from the opposition.
“The old (selection) criteria do not meet the needs of the labour market,” Legault said, speaking with reporters ahead of a rare weekend session of the National Assembly to fast-track Bill 9.
“Everything that had to be said has been said,” he added, stressing employers’ concerns over a labour shortage.
The legislation would give the immigration minister more authority over who receives permanent residency in Quebec. It would also allow the government to cancel roughly 18,000 immigration applications, some from people who waited in limbo for years as their files languished in the old system.
Those affected would have to submit another application under a new system, known as Arrima, put in place by the former Liberal government last September. Along with the applicants’ families, the total number of people affected by the legislation amounts to roughly 50,000.
The three opposition parties sought to derail the legislative session Saturday, but the Speaker rejected arguments that a motion introduced by Coalition party house leader Simon Jolin-Barrette does not respect the spirit of 2009 reforms stipulating a parliamentary gag order can target only one bill.
Before breaking for the summer, the legislature is slated to sit through the weekend to debate both Bill 9 and Bill 21, a controversial secularism bill that would ban public servants including teachers, police officers, Crown prosecutors and prison guards from wearing religious symbols on the job.
The legislative mechanism of closure allows the government to end debate and use its majority to force a vote.
Liberal immigration critic Dominique Anglade said that, since filing Bill 9 in February, the government has provided “no credible explanation” to eliminate the 18,000 applications. She denounced the gag order as an outgrowth of the “stubbornness” of Legault and Jolin-Barrette, who serves as both immigration minister and house leader.
The Parti Quebecois and Quebec Solidaire said the applications of the 3,700 immigration candidates who have already settled in Quebec should be given priority under the new rules.
During question period in the House, Quebec Solidaire co-spokesperson Manon Masse implored the premier to show “humanity” and “compassion” for the immigration candidates. Quebec Solidaire MNA Andres Fontecilla begged the government to perform a “last gesture of humanity.”
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, the party’s other co-spokesperson, said the government had moved more swiftly than its predecessors to enact a gag order.
“Contrary to the claims of the government, there was no obstruction, there was no blockage, there was no sneering, but an authoritarian coup-de-force,” he said in a scrum before the start of the weekend session.
Forcing secularism bill through legislature gives Quebecers back their pride: premier
MONTREAL — Quebecers are regaining a sense of pride now that the government is set to force through a secularism bill that bans many public sector workers from wearing religious symbols, Premier François Legault said Friday.
Legault told reporters people stop him in the street and encourage him to get the controversial Bill 21 passed into law. “They tell me, ‘Don’t let go!’” he said during a news conference in Quebec City.
“They say they are proud,” he continued. “To feel this regained pride among our people, who are standing up, advancing — it makes me the happiest man in the world to be their premier.”
Despite criticism from opposition parties, human rights advocates, lawyers and organizations representing minority groups, Legault plans to invoke closure and push the bill through this weekend.
That means the legislature will sit over the next two days before breaking for the summer to debate Bill 21 as well as Bill 9, on immigration reform. The legislative mechanism of closure allows the government to end debate and use its majority to force a vote.
Quebec’s Bill 21 would ban public servants in positions of authority — including teachers, police officers, Crown prosecutors and prison guards — from wearing religious symbols on the job.
“Quebecers have been wishing for a long time to prohibit religious symbols for people in authority and they are saying: ‘Finally. We have a government who listened to us — who understood us,’” Legault said.
He said legislative debate has gone on long enough, and the bill needs to be adopted to send a message to the people who voted for his Coalition Avenir Quebec party.
“There is a signal that is being sent,” the premier said earlier in the day. “It’s been 11 years. It’s a societal debate we should put behind us. There was a clear desire that was expressed eight months ago,” he said, referring to his October electoral victory over the Liberals.
“To let this drag on,” Legault added, “there will be a risk for social cohesion.”
During the afternoon news conference, Legault argued that by clearly legislating on secularism, Quebec will avoid the right-wing extremism seen in parts of Europe.
“A bill that is moderate, applies to very few people but that allows us to send a message that we want to protect our values and our way of life, I think, is the best way,” he said.
But opposition parties argue the government is damaging social cohesion by using closure on a bill that curtails the rights of citizens, especially minorities. The bill already invokes the Constitution’s notwithstanding clause to prevent court challenges based on rights violations.
Quebec Solidaire spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois said Legault’s contention that Bill 21 will end the debate in society over secularism is laughable.
He said many of the people who spoke at committee in support of the bill, such as academics and activists, wanted it to go even farther.
“Over the next few years, these people will continue to make themselves heard and push and push to ban (religious symbols) more and more,” he told reporters.
As if to confirm Nadeau-Dubois’s fears, interim Parti Québécois leader Pascal Berube later told reporters his party wants the government to accept two amendments that would extend Bill 21 to apply to daycare workers and private school teachers.
“We want a bill that is more coherent,” said Berube, whose party has signalled it will almost certainly vote in favour of the bill.
Interim Liberal Leader Pierre Arcand said Bill 21 “bothers a lot of people.” He said Legault is mistaken if he thinks using closure will end the debate.
“I think it’s unfortunate,” Arcand said. “The bill will be adopted over the weekend without it having a lot of detail or without an understanding of how the law will be applied.”
The Legault government is also forcing through Bill 9, which would give the government more authority to select who receives permanent residency in Quebec. The legislation allows the government to cancel roughly 18,000 pending applications for immigration to the province — something the Liberals oppose.
Immigration Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette told reporters Friday the immigration changes are necessary because of the province’s labour shortage. The government says the new rules will allow it to better select newcomers based on the needs of the labour market.
