An interesting thing about the ADQ (i.e. Mario Dumont etc). I was reading an article stating that they are of the belief that "we already accomodate etc for newcomers enough, likely too much" (really paraphrasing). The idea was that this likely played a good part in getting them elected, as there has been somewhat of an upsurge in Quebec re: this (according to the article). To give a rough parallel, it was to the politician in France (Jean-marie Pen? or something like that? I don't know, his name escapes me at the momment) who is very anti-immigrants etc. Not that Dumont/the ADQ was nearly to that extent, but that there was a belief that way (in a lot more moderate way). Again this is just paraphrasing a newspaper article I read while sitting in a waiting room, so take it for what it is worth.
