Mon pays le Québec (English: Quebec, My Country) is a political party in the Canadian province of Quebec.

Ideology

On the subject of immigration, the party created a multi-tiered path to citizenship. Those who can effectively read, write, and speak French will receive citizenship within three years, while other immigrants will have five years to comply with these language requirements or be deported.[2]

The party espouses an ideology of Quebec sovereignty. Similar to Option nationale and the Parti Indépendantiste, the party feels that, if given a majority mandate in the National Assembly of Quebec, they would have a clear mandate to separate from Canada.[2] Additionally, like most sovereigntist parties, the party has announced its support for the primacy of the French language in Quebec. Anglophones and Allophones who were born in Quebec will be considered citizens of a sovereign Quebec, though they will be subject to the same regulations as immigrants to the country. If the anglophone and allophone populations of Quebec do not learn French within five years of Quebec becoming a state, they will lose all rights within the country.[2]

The party wishes to switch to a Electronic voting system for both elections and referenda.[2]

In terms of national economics and taxation, the party advocates switching to a FairTax, which would remove all all income taxes, payroll taxes, gift taxes, and estate taxes and replace them with a consumption tax and an import tariff.[2]
