Dear Editor,
Let me see if I have this straight … a refugee who comes to Canada, moves into Quebec, and integrates into Canadian society and after three years cannot speak French, but has learned only English, they face expulsion from the province?
This plan is the CAQ’s way of keeping immigrants from wanting to move to Quebec in the first place and shows that they are not welcome.

English is needed in any modern society anywhere in the world. So, if immigrants only speak English after three years they have to leave Quebec?
If the CAQ keep that racist promise, it will create turmoil in all aspects of life in Quebec and the rest of Canada. If the CAQ do follow through, let’s keep the one billion dollars per month that they receive in transfer payments from the rest of Canada.
I am waiting to see Mr. Fortin’s response to this critical issue defending English rights. Last time I checked, the Canadian government is still officially bilingual and so is our country.
