As I said, as long as there's no....
I regret that I don't speak French.
If I did, I would embarrass you, so I'll speak English.
As long as the legislation does not put clear limits, the discretion of the minister, as it now stands, is not fettered, and it would allow the minister to make changes that could affect the agreement with Quebec. Now, Quebec could then challenge that constitutionally, but that would be a lengthy process, which may or may not be successful.
If the minister is saying they have no intention of doing these things, then it should be clearly set out in the act what powers the minister wants and doesn't want. The minister could agree to an amendment that states that nothing in the legislation allows the minister to issue instructions that would have an impact on provincial nominee programs or the Quebec-Canada immigration accord, and nothing in the legislation would allow the minister to make instructions with respect to individual applications.
This is what the ministers have been saying, but it's not what the legislation states.
