在他尚未尝试启动此前承诺的独立公投之前,魁北克省即将上任的省长保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东已经有一个更紧迫的议程——其中大部分都与联邦政府有关。
Before he even attempts to trigger a promised referendum on independence, Quebec premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has a more immediate agenda — and much of it relates to the federal government.
魁北克党领袖周二表示,如果符合魁北克的利益,他将与总理马克·卡尼合作。他说,自己与卡尼的首次会谈气氛友好,双方还共同承诺要减少该省的无家可归者问题。
The Parti Québécois leader said Tuesday he would collaborate with Prime Minister Mark Carney when it serves Quebec's interests. He said his first discussion with him was cordial and involved a shared commitment to reduce homelessness in the province.
但资深政治观察人士认为,大规模合作的可能性不大。事实上,魁北克党反而需要表明,留在加拿大并不会对魁北克有利。
But veteran political observers say extensive collaboration is unlikely. In fact, it benefits the PQ to show that remaining in Canada doesn't help Quebec.
“当你的合作伙伴想要表明他并不想与你合作时,你们就很难真正协同工作,”前联邦自由党领袖斯蒂芬·迪翁说道。
"When you have a partner who wants to show that you don't work with him, it's difficult to work well together," said former federal Liberal leader Stéphane Dion.
魁北克省下一任省长表示,他承诺一上任就迅速行动。渥太华大学政治学教授安德烈·莱库尔表示,魁北克党“实际上没有任何动力”与渥太华合作。
Quebec's next premier says he promises to hit the ground running as PQ takes power André Lecours, a political science professor at the University of Ottawa, says there's "really no incentive" for the PQ to work with Ottawa.
“恰恰相反,你们需要一些摩擦,需要一些紧张关系,”莱库尔在一次采访中说。下面我们将探讨这些摩擦点。魁北克党新政府对加拿大意味着什么?
"On the contrary, you want some friction, you want some tension," Lecours said in an interview. Here is a look at those friction points. What will a new PQ government mean for Canada?
9小时前 时长:大幅削减移民水平。魁北克党希望大幅减少该省的新移民数量。该党计划将永久移民人数削减至3.5万人——远低于今年预期的6万人。
9 hours ago Duration Slashing immigration levels The PQ wants to drastically reduce the number of newcomers in the province. The party wants to cut the number of permanent immigrants to 35,000 — a substantial reduction from the 60,000 expected this year.
该党还希望将非永久移民配额减半,目标人数设定在20万至25万人之间,同时保护农业、制造业和医疗保健等行业。要实现这一目标,魁北克党需要渥太华的帮助。
The party also wants to reduce non-permanent immigration quotas by half, setting a target between 200,000 and 250,000 people, while protecting sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and health care. To achieve this, the PQ needs help from Ottawa.
魁北克党(PQ)上台,魁北克未来联盟党(CAQ)彻底出局:魁北克选举关键要点分析 CAQ支持者的疲惫是主权派魁北克党历史性胜利的关键,新政府根基脆弱 联邦政府掌控着永久居留的最终审批权,并负责签发临时外国工人和留学生的签证。圣皮埃尔-普拉蒙东希望将这些权力完全移交给魁北克省——而联邦政府过去一直拒绝这一要求。
PQ in power, CAQ wiped off the map: Key takeaways from Quebec's election ANALYSIS CAQ fatigue key to sovereignist PQ's historic victory, fragile government The federal government controls final approvals for permanent residency and issues the visas for temporary foreign workers and international students. St-Pierre Plamondon wants full power over these levers transferred to Quebec — which is something the federal government has rejected in the past.
勒库尔表示:“在移民问题上,渥太华无论采取何种措施,都无法让魁北克党满意。”
"There's nothing that Ottawa can do that would make the PQ happy on immigration," Lecours said.
卡尼称现在是“采取行动”的时刻,并呼吁与即将上任的魁北克省省长合作。10月6日 高速铁路的未来 魁北克党反对联邦政府提议修建连接多伦多、蒙特利尔并最终延伸至魁北克市的高速铁路线。
Carney says it's 'time to act,' work together with incoming Quebec premier October 6 The future of high-speed rail The PQ is opposed to the federal government's proposed high-speed rail line that would connect Toronto to Montreal and on to Quebec City.
联邦交通部长史蒂夫·麦基农称,该项目是“建设强大经济、为加拿大人创造新机遇”的一种方式。联邦政府计划今年秋季公布该线路的首个路段,即从渥太华到蒙特利尔的部分。
Federal Transport Minister Steve MacKinnon has described the project as a way to "build a strong economy and create new opportunities for Canadians." The federal government is planning to present this fall the first segment of the route, running from Ottawa to Montreal.
高级别官员称,高速铁路项目的成本可能高于最初预期:预算监督机构指出 然而,圣皮埃尔-普拉蒙东则认为,该项目并未满足魁北克民众的实际需求。
Alto high-speed rail project could cost more than originally thought: budget watchdog St-Pierre Plamondon, however, has argued the project does not address the needs of Quebecers.
勒库尔表示,在魁北克党执政的情况下,这条高速铁路线很可能无法推进,并称“如果魁北克省政府反对,联邦政府绝无可能实施该项目。” 法律纠纷:《第21号法案》与王室 加拿大最高法院预计将在今年年底前作出裁决,决定是否废除《第21号法案》。这项备受争议的省级立法要求部分公务员摘下头巾,并禁止在工作场所佩戴宗教标志。
Lecours said the high-speed rail line is unlikely to go forward with the PQ in power, saying there's "no way the federal government is going to do the project if the Quebec government is opposed to it." Legal battles: Bill 21 and the Crown The Supreme Court of Canada is expected to issue a ruling by the end of the year on whether to strike down Bill 21, the controversial provincial legislation that forces some public servants to uncover their heads and bans the wearing of religious symbols on the job.
勒库尔指出,关于“尽管有宪法规定仍可实施”条款的裁决“有可能引发剧烈动荡”。如果加拿大最高法院裁定该法律无效,魁北克未来联盟很可能将这一结果作为有力的政治武器,以此证明只有实现独立才能捍卫魁北克的价值观。
Lecours said the ruling on the use of the notwithstanding clause has the "potential to be explosive." If the country's highest court strikes down the law, the PQ is likely to use the defeat as potent political ammunition, arguing it proves Quebec's values can only be protected through independence.
圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东还表示,上任后100天内他将采取措施“废除”魁北克的君主制,并削减省总督办公室的经费。
St-Pierre Plamondon also said he would take steps to "abolish" the monarchy in Quebec and cut funding to the office of the province's lieutenant-governor within 100 days of taking office.
1982年《宪法法案》规定,对国王、总督或省总督职位的任何调整都必须获得众议院、参议院以及全部10个省份立法机构的批准。
The Constitution Act, 1982, stipulates that any modifications to the office of the King, the Governor General or the lieutenant-governor must be approved by the House of Commons, the Senate and all 10 provincial legislatures.
专家们质疑这一计划是否切实可行,但此举极有可能引发激烈争议。根据魁北克未来联盟的推进力度,此事或许会导致长期的法律诉讼以及与渥太华方面的争端。
Experts question whether the plan is viable but it's likely to provoke a fight. Depending on how far the PQ goes, it could lead to prolonged court challenges and disputes with Ottawa.
对于魁北克民众而言,少数党政府意味着什么?该党计划在五年财政规划中争取从联邦政府获得44亿加元的额外拨款。
What a Parti Québécois minority government means for Quebecers Seeking $4.4B more in federal transfers Under its five-year financial plan, the PQ factors in $4.4 billion in additional federal transfers from Ottawa.
魁北克未来联盟希望提高联邦健康拨款额度,并要求联邦政府承担与难民相关的费用。此外,该党还力求获得对本省经济的更大控制权。
The PQ wants higher Canada Health Transfer payments and reimbursement for costs linked to asylum seekers. It will also press for greater control over its own economy.
在落实这些优先事项的过程中,圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东需要妥善管理一个根基不稳的少数党政府。
As St-Pierre Plamondon navigates these priorities, he will be managing a fragile minority government.
在迪翁看来,如果圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东表现得过于强硬,便可能疏远选民——尤其是当他把矛头指向在魁北克仍颇受欢迎的加拿大总理时。
In Dion's view, the PQ leader risks alienating voters if he is perceived as too abrasive — particularly when taking aim at a prime minister who remains popular in Quebec.
“他该如何阐明‘为了魁北克的利益我们必须脱离加拿大’这一观点,同时又不招致众怒?这对他而言绝非易事,”曾主导制定《加拿大清晰法》的迪翁说道。该联邦法律明确规定了省份寻求脱离加拿大时需遵循的规则。
"How he will manage to make his point that we need to get out of Canada for our own sake, without antagonizing everyone — it will not be easy for him," said Dion, who was the main architect behind Canada's Clarity Act, a federal law that sets the rules for a province attempting to secede.
周二,卡尼向圣皮埃尔-普拉蒙东的胜利表示祝贺。他表示,两人此前已就“如何为魁北克民众共同努力”进行过探讨。当被问及举行主权公投的可能性时,这位总理称自己的职责就是与各省政府通力合作。
On Tuesday, Carney congratulated St-Pierre Plamondon on his victory. He said they had already discussed "how to work together for Quebecers." When asked about the prospect of a sovereignty referendum, the prime minister said his job is to work with all provincial governments.
“一刻也不能耽搁,”卡尼说道,“我们必须在强大的加拿大框架内建设一个强大的魁北克。”
"There is not a moment to waste," Carney said. "We need to build a strong Quebec in a strong Canada."
