Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier François Legault are slated to meet Monday afternoon in Quebec City to talk about immigration -- and more specifically the best way to manage temporary immigrants.
The Quebec premier wants Ottawa to “significantly and rapidly” reduce their numbers while doing a better job at distributing asylum seekers across the country.
Quebec also wants to have a say in the selection of temporary foreign workers, and for French language skills to be considered.
In addition, the Legault government is asking Ottawa for $1 billion to cover the cost of receiving asylum seekers.
The two premiers already met on March 15 to discuss immigration.
Legault had asked for full powers over immigration but seemingly dropped the request after Trudeau refused.
