Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Parti conservateur du Québec (PCQ), led by Éric Duhaime, has introduced new policy platforms addressing agriculture and immigration. In its agricultural platform, the party pledged to avoid new restrictive regulations for four years and aims to reduce administrative paperwork for farmers. Key proposals include modernizing land preservation acts to allow more flexibility for regional municipalities, reducing processing times at the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec (CPTAQ), and designating primary food processing as an essential service. The party also proposed a loan guarantee for young cattle farmers and reiterated support for the supply management system. Regarding immigration, the PCQ proposed a significant reduction in admissions to Quebec and the implementation of “democracy” points within selection criteria. The plan also includes a 33% reduction in social assistance benefits for immigrants. Duhaime has argued that the current system provides asylum seekers with better services than the general population. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-27: Parti conservateur du Québec unveils new immigration plan The Parti conservateur du Québec has proposed a new immigration plan featuring reduced admission numbers, new selection criteria, and a 33% cut to social assistance benefits for immigrants. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/parti-conservateur-du-qubec-unveils-new-immigration-plan ### 2026-09-17: Parti conservateur du Québec unveils agricultural platform The Parti conservateur du Québec has announced an agricultural plan promising a four-year moratorium on new restrictive regulations and measures to reduce administrative burdens for farmers. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/parti-conservateur-du-qubec-unveils-agricultural-platform --- Cite as: Parti conservateur du Québec policy developments.
