I believe that Quebec claims exclusive jurisdiction over immigration. This is the territorial approach, of which I am very much in favour because no self-respecting nation can allow another to tell it what it wants. The concept of nationhood is important.
Immigration is a major factor in the situation and future of a nation. In my view, the entire immigration sector should be Quebec's responsibility. As regards what Canada would do about francophone minorities outside Quebec, I hope that English Canada will open the door to even more francophone immigration based on an equal partnership.
It's not surprising that we take in so many anglophone immigrants since the Canadian government continues to enter into international agreements. If Canada were French, do you think it would forge more international ties with the francophonie as a whole? Of course it would. However, Canada defines itself as English as it presents itself to the world. What French there is is only a facade.
Immigrants want to come to a country where the level of comfort is quite high. It must be understood that it's anglophones who are integrating, which undermines French Canada and Quebec. In fact, 50% of allophone immigrants who opt to use a language other than their own choose English when they immigrate to Quebec. That's not good. We need 90% of immigrants to opt for French.
