In it, the MNA for Jacques-Cartier says he judges the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) government on its actions following Echaquan's death, while also denouncing the CAQ's secularism and language bills.
"I ask you to judge (the CAQ) on its actions," he said. "The first thing they did was to pass a law that reduced immigration and the number of refugees."
"The second is Bill 21 (on secularism)," he continued. "And now let's talk about Joyce Echaquan... Thousands of people marched in the streets to demand that the government recognize systemic racism. And let me add Bill 96 (on French as an official language), again with the notwithstanding clause, used to restrict and remove rights."
