The Quebec government has unveiled a values test for new immigrants, but it is a watered version of what was promised during the 2018 provincial election.
Drawing a sample from a pool of about 100 questions drafted by a private consulting firm hired by the government an immigrant in the qualified worker category could be asked whether women and men have the same rights in Quebec. True or false?
There will be 20 questions in all. A pass is a score of 75 per cent (15 questions correct), but in the event of a fail, the person can take the test again two weeks later.
Dave is joined by Montreal Gazette political reporter Philip Authier.
