Accused of lacking sensitivity, Quebec premier doubles down on comments about immigrants

 Quebec Premier François Legault said Tuesday he has no regrets about comments he made on immigration to a business crowd last week.

Legault had said that every time the government accepts an immigrant to the province making less than $56,000, it makes it harder to achieve his goal of increasing the average salary of Quebecers.

He had made the comments Friday to the Conseil du patronat du Québec, an employers council. Radio-Canada obtained a copy and made it public on Monday, causing a stir.
