3/9/2022 0 Comments Quebec's Immigration Minister Has Stated That the Province Is Prepared to Accept Ukrainian RefugeesJean Boulet, Quebec's immigration minister, says the province is prepared to accept Ukrainian migrants. "Quebec has a great deal of empathy for the people of Ukraine," Boulet said on Monday. "We want to let them know that Canada and Quebec are welcoming places, and we will do everything we can to ensure that they have a successful stay in Quebec." However, he stated that he had no idea how many people would attend or when they will arrive. "We recognize the magnitude of the issue and will ensure that we have the capacity to welcome and integrate them as much as possible," Boulet said. At a news conference on Monday, Boulet discussed a prospective flood of Ukrainian refugees while announcing a $5 million investment in Montreal-based community organizations that help immigrants and refugees assimilate into the city. Some of these organizations have stated that they are preparing to accommodate Ukrainian refugees, but that they do not expect a big number. "Most refugees will likely travel to other European countries before arriving in Canada," said Jean-François Veilleux, a spokesman for the Table de concertation des organisms au service des personnes réfugiées et immigrantes (TCRI).
