Quebec Premier François Legault Threatens to Hold Referendum on Immigration

At a news conference in Quebec City, the province’s premier, François Legault, criticizes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent pre-budgetary announcements. He denounces the fact that many of the measures announced encroach on areas that fall under Quebec’s jurisdiction. Legault also recounts his meeting with Trudeau on immigration, and says he wants to see concrete results from his government's demands for new powers in that area. Should the federal government refuse, the premier is threatening to hold a referendum on immigration. (April 9, 2024) (No interpretation)
