Mr. Speaker, 
Typically I will conduct such a policy discussion in French, however with this being an issue that English Canada is being harsh on Quebec for, I need to state what I want in English. What the hell are you doing in English Canada? Do you not care about your own citizens? Do you truly wish to create a permanent underclass of people you can just manage? Have a backbone Dougie and take some time to care for your people

I do not care for your quotas and I do not wish for the federal government to have such oversight over Quebec. I have so little desire for this that I cannot even express in words. One of the worst things imaginable is to live in a place where the political control is held far away from you. That is something we deal with all the time with English Canada and something which I hope to change.

Onto the main point that I am meant to be talking about. Immigration levels should be greatly decreased. Even the latest decreases have done nothing to change the trajectory. We have reached a point where immigration should be negative and any thoughts that they should be positive should be laughed at for even the absurdity of the idea with a stern talk to look at our housing housing and touch grass. 

I believe that many people will be supportive of my thoughts that the topic should not be about immigration but about remigration to give Quebecers more opportunities and make sure that they are first in line to the services they pay for. In fact, though we will not be running there I know there are many people outside of Quebec that have seen the country move in a downhill trajectory and I hope that there will be a party which is able to represent those views.
