QUEBEC — Premier François Legault called on the Parti Québécois Thursday to pressure its federal cousins in the Bloc Québécois to bring down the Trudeau government.
Stopping on his way into question period at the National Assembly, Legault said he has been trying for six months to get the Trudeau government to budge on the issue of temporary immigrants entering Quebec, which he said is “weakening” the Quebec nation.
“To date, the only actions taken by Mr. (Justin) Trudeau are not significant,” Legault said. “We are still at a level of 600,000 temporary immigrants.”
Yet the leader of the Bloc, Yves-François Blanchet, said Wednesday he will continuing propping up the government, which is in a minority position, an irritated Legault noted.
“Today, I ask Mr. St-Pierre Plamondon, leader of the PQ, to have the courage today to ask his comrade in the Bloc Québécois to back off, to not support the Trudeau government next week and to defend the interests of Quebecers and the Quebec nation.
“What is happening is important. Mr. St-Pierre Plamondon has the duty to stand up, to show courage and question Yyes-François Blanchet.”
