New bill will require newcomers to Quebec to adopt ‘common culture,’ minister says

  • The Quebec government plans to introduce a bill requiring newcomers to adopt what Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge calls the 'common culture' of Quebec, emphasizing values like gender equality and secularism.
  • The proposed integration model prioritizes Quebec Francophone culture over Canada's multiculturalism approach, with Roberge stating that immigrants must engage with the broader community.
  • The bill aims to create mechanisms to ensure adherence to these principles, although Roberge did not provide specific details about its implementation.
  • Opposition leaders criticize the timing of the bill, arguing that recent cuts to French-language programs undermine its effectiveness and questioning the government's commitment to integration.
