Allison Hanes: What is the immigration debate really about?

Immigration has become the defining issue of the 2018 Quebec election campaign.
The question is: why?
François Legault, the leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec, has put immigration front and centre by promising to reduce levels by 20 per cent, cutting the number of immigrants Quebec takes in each year to 40,000 from over 50,000. He says this is necessary because too many newcomers are failing to integrate.
Legault also wants immigrants to pass a French exam and take a values test
