Transcript

00:00:00.000 There's a lot of fake refugees, and we are welcoming them, and we are paying for them.
00:00:07.200 They have more benefits, dental care, health care, than us Canadians.
00:00:13.440 So all that must stop.
00:00:15.340 The cost of that last year, the federal government was saying that it's more than $10 billion
00:00:20.060 that we are paying for these fake refugees.
00:00:24.400 So it's time to have a cleanup, and Canadians are fed up with that.
00:00:28.660 And I hope that when the time will come, they will realize, if you want a change,
00:00:34.280 you need to vote for what you believe in, and the change will happen.
00:00:39.360 So, Maxime, I'm understanding you right.
00:00:42.100 You would put a full-stop moratorium on immigration for, what, a minimum of 10 years
00:00:46.640 while we sort this out, however long it takes?
00:00:50.300 As long as it takes.
00:00:51.700 Like, you know, we have a crisis for a housing crisis, sorry.
00:00:59.540 We have also a criminal crisis.
00:01:01.820 It was all that.
00:01:03.200 We have our health care that we cannot, you know, Canadians cannot have good services.
00:01:08.320 So we need to fix all that.
00:01:10.000 And the way to fix it is to have that moratorium, that pause.
00:01:13.180 And if it's taking, you know, five years or 10 years, it will take five years or 10 years.
00:01:19.440 So because our priority is Canadians first.
00:01:22.900 And for me, that's not a slogan.
00:01:25.000 That's the reality.
00:01:26.540 And if you look at our platform, everything is in line to put our country first and Canadians first,
00:01:32.380 and not these foreigners who are coming here only, only to have a better economic life and not integrate.
00:01:40.780 They don't want to integrate in our society.
00:01:44.100 And, you know, Tanya, I'm very sometimes upset when I'm traveling across this country
00:01:48.860 and I have, you know, a new Canadian, I'll be polite, who, when I'm speaking about immigration,
00:01:56.380 you know, with you or with anybody, it's always the same.
00:01:59.840 I don't pander to any ethnic groups.
00:02:03.640 But sometimes they are calling me.
00:02:05.780 They said, oh, Maxime, everybody is an immigrant here.
00:02:09.020 You are an immigrant.
00:02:10.400 And I said, no, I'm not.
00:02:11.620 I'm a settler.
00:02:12.900 I came here, the francophone coming from France, the anglophone from London and from other countries.
00:02:21.940 We came here 400 years ago.
00:02:25.420 So I'm not an immigrant.
00:02:26.640 But for them, they don't know our history and that's why they don't integrate in our country.
