PQ wants robots rather than immigration to address manpower shortage

QUEBEC CITY — The Parti Québécois (PQ) is betting on robots to address a manpower shortage and replace temporary immigrants in the province’s fields and factories.

Presse Canadienne obtained the robotization and automation part of the PQ’s plan to reduce immigration on the eve of its presentation on Monday.

The plan has been expected for several months and is a response the lobby group the Century Initiative, which has been advocating for the increase of Canada’s population to 100 million through immigration.
