official languages: He accused the current government of breaking the dreams of immigrants and refugees who have not been able to find work in their fields or learn English or French, according to The Chronicle Herald. The most important thing is to be able to offer those immigrants opportunities, he told a Montreal news conference where he unveiled his immigration strategy. The Quebec MP said the Trudeau government's targets have been improvised for political purposes and don't take into account the ability of cities and provinces to integrate newcomers. If you are not offered a job and are not able to master one or two of the official languages, we have a big problem, he said. He also reiterated a promise to beef up the citizenship test to ensure newcomers understand basic principles of Canadian identity such as the charter of rights, freedom of speech and equality between the sexes. The former public safety minister also said the screening process for immigrants and refugees needs to be strengthened to ensure none of the newcomers pose a threat.
