Protests are scheduled in several cities across Quebec to oppose the cancellation of the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ). These rallies are organized by the group "Le Québec c'est nous aussi" and have the backing of major labor unions, including the CSN, CSQ, and FTQ. The organizations are calling for a grandfather clause, a rule that would protect immigration rights for people who are already living and working in Quebec. While Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge promised that some healthcare workers will be chosen through a new program, advocacy groups say these measures do not go far enough.
