flag Christine Fréchette pledges to restart Quebec’s halted fast-track immigration program, the PEQ, amid growing debate over immigration policy and labor needs.

flag CAQ leadership candidate Christine Fréchette has pledged to revive Quebec’s suspended fast-track immigration program, the PEQ, which ended in November 2025 amid criticism over its impact on skilled labor in health care and education. flag Her proposal comes as the CAQ leadership race intensifies, with rival Bernard Drainville backing a grandfather clause for temporary immigrants in priority fields. flag Premier François Legault has also signaled support for such a clause, potentially allowing up to 350,000 temporary immigrants to gain permanent residency. flag The PEQ’s future remains a key issue in debates over immigration policy, public services, and labor market needs in Quebec.
